LinkedIn® for Windows Mobile

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Project Description
LinkedIn® for Windows Mobile brings your LinkedIn® account to your Window Mobile powered phone. See networkupdates / connections / profile etc.

Created using C#, .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and the Windows Mobile 6 SDK.

Last changes
Version 0.9 includes :

* Fixed Status update
* GSensor support (Only for HTC, requieres soft reset)
* Customizable fontname and fontsize (Through registry)
* Invitations support

Privacy
The LinkedIn® for Windows Mobile program will communicate with the LinkedIn® Developer API using it's own set of authentication tokens.
These tokens will be created upon the first usage of the program (See Usage) and can only be used by this program.
At any time you can revoke the tokens by accessing your the following page https://www.linkedin.com/secure/settings?userAgree=&goback=%2Eaas
or browse to your own LinkedIn® profile and on the Settings page goto Authorized Applications and remove the LinkedInM entry on the External Websites group.



Usage
First time use :
Upon the first startup of the application you will be asked to allow the program access to the internet as well as to your LinkedIn® profile.
Your default webbrowser will be started and will point to the LinkedIn servers in order for you to login in.
Copy the verifiercode given to you by LinkedIn®, paste it into the application and press 'Ok'
From this time forward the program will use it's own authentication tokens to communicate with the LinkedIn® API.

Regular use:
Use the menu on the left bottom side to move to the different pages.
Pressing the 'X' will only hide the application, while pressing Exit will really close the application.


What you get ...

* Network updates
* See your profile.
* Browse your own connections.
* See the profile of your connections.
* Search for people by name.
* Update your own status.
* Invitations


... and do not get (yet)

Due to the limitations of the LinkedIn® Developer API, or at least the information available through the API, not all functionality can be implemented.
Other items are not implemented due to a time constraint.
E.g.

* Any information about the connections of your own connections.
* Restricted amount of search results and number of searches.
