LinkedIn for the iPhone has the potential for must-have status among business-oriented iPhone or iPod touch users.

And glitches with performance and stability will leave most users yearning for an update to the application. Engrave their gift in time for the holidays with a mix of emoji, names, initials, and numbers. Unfortunately, LinkedIn for the iPhone and iPod touch allows easy access to only a subset of the service’s functionality. With more than 36 million members, LinkedIn is the premier business networking site, perfect for keeping in touch with colleagues, networking, finding-or filling-a job, participating in discussions, and much more. ![]()
