LinkedIn’s Contacts > Address Book

Basically, the LinkedIn Contacts app aims to replace your address book on your iPhone. It’ll be the one place to go for all your professional contacts. It goes through your address books, emails and calendars to auto update everything for you. Click on a contact, you’d be able to see the last email you sent out to this contact via Gmail, the connection’s recent LinkedIn activity and details of the last meeting you had with them – all on one status stream. Job changes, birthdays, meetings etc., all for you to swipe through with ease too!
