LinkedIn, the social network everyone signs up for but nobody seems to ever actually use, has launched an Android app. Currently tagged as a beta test release, the only way to get yourself a copy is by downloading the APK direct from the maker.
Here’s a little snippet from the announcement, taken from the LinkedIn blog:
The new Beta app supports several of the key features used most frequently by mobile users on our other platforms:
- View updates from your professional network
– Search for people to discover things you have in common and establish new connections
– Respond to invitations sent from people in your professional life
– Keep in touch with your own connections on LinkedIn
And here are some images. They are a bit low resolution but get the message across.
Imagine having that many work friends. Administrative nightmare. LinkedIn for Android requires Android 2.1 or higher and can be got here. Link via Phandroid.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ December 17, 2010The social network that everybody knows about, but nobody cares about has just released an app. Mr C hasn’t made an update since then. This can mean one of two things:
* Mr C is making sure that no one he has ever met is more successful than him
* Teclast are about to launch an Android phone.
Please God let it be the latter!
