Today, LinkedIn announced the release of its app for the iPad.

Imagine having one place where you can get all the info you need about who you’re meeting with that day, trending and timely news that is impacting your industry, who’s changed jobs and what your coworkers are sharing, liking, and commenting on. We’ve pulled all this for you, all in one place". 

One feature you may like or not is the ability to sync your calendar with LinkedIn which in turn will " incorporate rich Linkedin profile data about each attendee". This feature is also new in LinkedIn for the iPhone and Android.
