LinkedIn for BlackBerry is Here

LinkedIn has finally revealed their BlackBerry app. It looks pretty cool, specifically the integration into the BlackBerry core apps (contacts, messages, and calendar)

Contacts. Integrate your LinkedIn connections with your BlackBerry address book, and view the profile of any contact directly on your BlackBerry.
Messages. LinkedIn invitations and messages will now appear in your BlackBerry Inbox, just like any other email. You can also view the LinkedIn profile of the sender of any email you receive.
Calendar. You can now view the LinkedIn profile of any attendee of a meeting on your BlackBerry calendar.

Just like the previous post on Xobni, this sort of integration is something that iPhone apps tend to be unable to achieve. For example the iPhone LinkedIn app – while neat – is limited to what it can do in the app itself, and can’t integrate very closely with Mail, Contacts, or Calendar (and other apps) on the iPhone. I think this is what RIM is calling Super Apps, and is definitely something they should be pushing app developers towards.
