LinkedIn Launches Updated iPhone & Android Apps, New HTML 5 Mobile Site

LinkedIn has announced a new HTML 5 optimized page for mobile browsers and updated iPhone and Android apps with 2-10X speed increases.

For the first time, we’ll be providing that experience not only in our iPhone and Android applications, but also in a brand new HTML5 experience for use in any modern mobile web browser.

• Faster

The new mobile apps are between two and ten times faster across all features, ranging from search to reading update stream.

• Simpler

The App completely re-organized around 4 key areas:

• Updates: View updates from your network and top news from LinkedIn Today
• Inbox: You can view your invitations and messages in one place
• You: Access your profile, connections, share updates, and even more in the future
• Groups & More: Browse and interact with your groups, as well as build your network through our People You May Know feature

This not only makes it easier for members to accomplish tasks easily, but also makes it more intuitive to find what they are looking for when they download the app for the first time.

• Better

The other big change that we’ve implemented based on user feedback is that the mobile app experience now starts with the Update stream, one of the most frequently used areas of the current mobile app. We want to help our members be great at what they do and one way to do that is to help them stay up-to-date on news and information from their network, company, and industry that they can glean from their updates stream.
