LinkedIn Unveils Windows Phone App

LinkedIn added a new mobile app to its repertoire today: the Windows Phone 7.5 application. The job-based social network already has apps for iPhone and Android, but the company is saying that the Windows Phone app is the most sophisticated app it's developed yet.

With this app, which is smaller than 1MB and is free, LinkedIn aims to let Windows Phone users be able to find and connect with other professionals. The app's features include access to a real-time update stream with news and information from connections and groups, news about the jobs industry, a search function for employment, and the ability to follow favorite companies' news.
