Social network LinkedIn has finally released Android app version 1.0., according to ReadWRiteWeb.com.

While LinkedIn has had an iPhone app since 2008, it only just recently began testing an app for Android. The app has been in beta testing but today becomes available to all in the Android Market, giving LinkedIn users the ability to view updates, search, message and more.

The app has six distinct functions or "modules" - updates, search, connections, invitations, messages and "reconnect". With these, users can view timeline updates, search for users from within connections and the entire LinkedIn user base, respond to invitations, and send and receive InMail messages. The "connections" module acts as your LinkedIn "address book in the cloud" and "reconnect" provides connection suggestions.
