Although I still struggle to see the draw in using LinkedIn, millions of people everyday log on to the site. If you're among them and using your BlackBerry to access the services, you'll be pleased to know a new LinkedIn is now available for BlackBerry OS smartphones. While it's just a small jump into v2.2, it's a pretty important update especially if you like to pay attention to a lot of company pages. The ability to follow those pages has finally been added and to go along with it, there is also BBM integration which will update your BBM status with your LinkedIn updates, if you do so wish. Again, this update is only for BlackBerry OS smartphones and you'll find the link below.

Thank you for being the one positive supporter of linkedin on this post. Most of the business people I work with and my professional friends assiduously use linkedin.

A lot companies and recruiters use LinkedIn to find talent by posting jobs, fairs, workshops, etc. So, when Kevin fires you, create a profile, and the recruiters will seek you out......

Hello LinkedIn. I don't know where the rest of the field is on this post. Blackberry and LinkedIn have always seemed like the perfect pairing and I love the linkedin Blackberry group(s). Professionals getting things done. The only purely business social connection site (with a clean interface and user friendly) and the best smartphone platform for doers. Anyway. I love the update and thanks for remembering this community. Also love using it on BB10. I've got a foot in each OS for now and it runs so well on the Playbook browser there is no need for an app there. I guarantee you there are tons of Blackberry users on your platform. Maybe they didn't have their coffee this am.

When trying to find a job, I subscribe to the "it's not what you know but who you know". I have and would never use Facebook (useless), but use LinkdIn to stay current on topics related to my job and industry.

Totally agree, its all about business and work connections, perfect match for a blackberry, I use it much more than the dumb facebook...

LinkedIn is for business to business networking and connections bar none. Don't go there if you want to see a picture of a Las Vegas stag or a video of a dog chasing balloons.

LinkedIn is used everyday on my z10 to see what's happening in the industry, connect with people I worked with, connect with people I want to work with, to access groups that are leading different sectors. It is credible social media for people interested in growing their careers.

One drawback is that the forums, although excellent, rarely have a 'first' which can be a little dull. I would be the 'first' to invite quicksilver to my professional linkedin network... he's in education though so not much to share professionally. Chuckle. I couldn't resist. I'm human.

It's great, no photos of what people are eating what more do you want. ;)

Seriously it is a great tool, I've got a lot of business out of it. As long as people only connect to people they really know and rate to work worth, your network is valuable to share. I refuse to connect with lots of requests that I get as well, one can immediately spot the normal social media tarts who connect to absolutely everyone big mistake.

Anyway I'm pleased with this update.

The author and other commenters here struggle to see the draw because , LinkedIn is a true business platform, ironically most Blackberry users talk about how the phone is great for business users and getting things done, well... LinkedIn is unrivaled when it comes to business.

You guys carry on tweeting and posting pictures on your side loaded Instagram lol

With iOS 7, Apple Plans Greater Integration Between iPhones and Cars

Posted 04/30/2013 at 4:14pm | by Leif Johnson

Fresh on the heels of yesterday's news that iOS 7 will feature a "flatter" UI, 9to5Mac reports that Apple now wants to get into your car's dashboard. Specifically, Apple is reportedly working with automobile manufacturers to include iPhone docking stations in new cars, thus allowing Apple Maps and Siri to be used through the exisiting console screens instead of the the current built-in GPS systems.

That's good news for those of us who like the pleasing aesthetic of Apple Maps, but it's somewhat disheartening for those of us who've been burned by Apple Maps' infamously poor directions in the past. (On a personal note--to date, Apple Maps still says a nearby Wendy's is four blocks north of where it actually is, even after attempts at correction.) Bringing Apple Maps up to par with Google Maps would go a long way toward facilitating manufacturers' acceptance of the proposal.

According to 9to5Mac, "Sources have described this as a feature akin to a video-out or mirrored display representation of the iPhone’s Maps app onto the bigger screens included with most modern vehicles. This is unlike the new Volkswagen iBeetle car that simply holds an iPhone running a third-party app." As GottaBeMobile reports, this plan seems to resemble Nokia's efforts to translate the interface of their Symbian smartphones to the larger screens commonly used in car consoles with their MirrorLink technology.

Apple plans for users to control the Apple Maps interface through Siri, although Siri, too, is known for its unreliability. Accuracy isn't the only hurdle, though; such an ambitious project would also require extensive integration of Siri into the car itself. Last year's "Eyes Free" Siri service was the first major step in this direction, as it allowed drivers to interact with Siri through their cars and with the iPhone's display turned off. During the last WWDC, Apple announced that it was working with working with manufacturers such as BMW, Toyota, Audi, Honda, and Land Rover, and it's likely that Apple's working with these same companies to develop this ambitious new project.

The technology involved is based on iOS 7, but it may be awhile yet before we're able to use it. Further deals need to be made, more tests need to be completed, and, well, Siri and Apple Maps need to improve. Still, the extra wait might be worth it. 9to5Mac also reports that recent patents filed by Apple point suggest the new software will also allow you to unlock your cars remotely and find them in crowded parking lots, extending Apple's plan to merge car and phone far beyond mere GPS convenience.

Swap some Apple Maps mishaps with this article's author, Leif Johnson, on Twitter.
