A new application is now available for download for the owners of devices running under Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, namely LinkedIn.

Through the new app, professionals will find it easier to access the network while on the go, while also benefiting from rich LinkedIn insights right in the palm of their hand.

The new LinkedIn for Windows Phone applications will also provide users with the possibility to easily get in touch with the millions of professionals worldwide that are using the social network.

Moreover, the app will enable people to have a look at the network’s real-time update stream that delivers news and information from each user’s professional connections.

LinkedIn for Windows Phone will also keep users on top of news impacting their business, and it will enable them to keep up-to-date with their professional groups, or to search for jobs, or simply follow news from their favorite companies.

“Today, we’re excited to unveil LinkedIn’s newest mobile application for the Windows Phone! We know professionals rely on their mobile devices every day to conduct business and to stay prepared for their work day,” LinkedIn’s Tomer Cohen notes in a blog post.

He also explains that the development team was focused on making sure that the new mobile application can benefit to the fullest of the latest Windows Phone features.

“We took advantage of the unique and beautiful Windows Phone metro style design while ensuring users would have easy and quick access to all the relevant professional information they’ve come to rely on from LinkedIn,” he notes.

“You’ll find that in some cases (hint: companies and jobs), the Windows Phone app offers even more functionality than its iOS and Android siblings.”

The release of this Windows Phone application is meant to provide even more professionals with the possibility to access important news needed for making smarter business decisions, all right from their Windows Phone devices.
