Yes. Android OS 2.1 on a Motorola Backflip smartphone.
Yes, but not often. Relative to other social media apps (eg Twitter, Facebook), Linkedin is a distant 3rd, but I do have the app. Android OS 2.2 myTouch
I definitely access Twitter and Facebook on my Blackberry, but I do not use the LinkedIn app. As important as I think this social networking website is, I don't think it is as important as Twitter or Facebook.
I have the LinkedIn app on my iPhone but seldom use it. I find little need to access LinkedIn when I'm mobile, especially since I primarily use it for networking and contact management only.
Yes, from my BB. However, I find that my BB (curve) has a poor browser. Even Opera isn't any better. If I had an iPhone or similar device, I'd use mobile LinkedIn more often.
Yes, but very infrequently (as compared to FB and Twitter, which have native apps for the Android)
I'm on a Motorola Droid, with OS v2.2
I'd love to use it more, if the folks at LinkedIn would bother to create a useful mobile app.
Yes. I use a Motorola Atrix (Android) and use both the Android client and the mobile browser.
Yes. I'm on an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.1, and I access LinkedIn through their native app.
Yes, Motorola Droid 2 Global w/ OS v2.2 Both Droid In, Linked In apps as well as mobile browser
Yes, using my iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.1 and the native LinkedIn app.
Yes, from my BlackBerry Torch--very rarely though. I access FB & Twitter often, but don't have the need to go to LinkedIn from my phone. And like Sean said, it doesn't have the native LinkedIn app like the other 2 do.
No.
Yes. iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.3.1 using the native linkedin app
and using Ipad via the browser.
Yes I do from my blackberry device but not so often.
I use Twitter the most from my mobile device.

Yes and very much. I have the HTC EVO and use the Droidin app, I also book mark the site and go to the full site on occasion. As far as importance of this site, I feel it is more important than facebook and twitter. This is a true professionals site specifically for building your business contacts. It is great for building business relationships and recruiting to fill internal positions.
Yes Apple iPhone 3GS
Yes on my HTC Desire, but not as regularly as I use Twitter or Facebook. For me, there is less of an immediate need to check out LI.
Yup. iPhone 4.

Im on Blackberry and the answer is "no".
Couple things:
1. Social media apps on the Blackberry are not very good.
2. I don't use Linkedin for much except to accept or deny requests and to research folks which I do from the office.
Yes. Blackberry 9700. Most important feature for me is the message indicator. List of connections is handy to send email if contact is not in my address book.
I also have Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress apps.
Yes, blackberry torch. Download the LinkedIn app though which is much easier than going through your browser.
Yes. Android 2.1, Motorola Milestone.
Yes, Android 2.1, Google Nexus One using LinkedIn App
Yes, iPhone 4 - via browser. Don't like the app.
Yes, Browser. App absolutely sux on so many levels... Total re-write would not be a bad decision. Designers actually using the thing through 3G & to do, say the top 10 things people want to do on LinkedIn, might be a good idea...
No, I access LI through my laptop.
Yes, via Linkedin app on iPhone 4 - brilliant, and use it every day for networking for business. My updates are set to automatically also go to my business Twitter account.
Never do 'native' Twitter - Facebook only for family and friends - too hard to set up for business compared to Linkedin.
Yes - Nexus 1 and iPhone 3GS using the LinkedIn app
Yes, on the HTC Hero Android phone using the LinkedIn app.
Yes, Samsung tablet device
Yes, iPhone 4
Yes, DroidX.
no

No. PC access only.
I use a Droid, but not to access ...
http://www.linkedin.com/in/bin95
as there is a lot of information to quickly scan over before interacting, that would take several clicks/zooms to review on phone.
Yes, I've been using DroidIN on my Motorola Droid but recently started using LinkedIn for Android. I like both tools, not sure which one I'll ultimately use exclusively.
Yes, using LinkedIn app for andriod on Samsung Galaxy.
I prefer accessing LinkedIn on a PC however.
Yes. iPhone 4
Yes. BB Curve. However my (wi-fi only) ipad is quickly repalcing my BB.
IPad
Yes, with my IPhone.

No
No.
Yes, with a Droid.
Yes, on BB Curve, iPod Touch, & iPad
Yes on iPhone
Yes on iPhone
I do. I used to access it from my iPhone, but now my Android since they've recently launched the app for the Droid.
Yes, from my iPhone. Not as usable as the web-based version, but good to quickly id a contact or connection.
Same "Not as usable as the web-based version, but good to quickly id a contact or connection."
Android HTC EVO
Yes, from my iPhone. I agree with Noah, not as user-friendly as the web-based/PC version, but good enough if I'm looking for something. I use HootSuite from my iPhone as well and can post from there, if need be.
Yes
Nexus One (Android 2.1), using LinkedIn App
Yes, iPhone 4, I will visit Linkedin.com 3 to 4 times a week.
Yes, Android HTC EVO. I use Linkedin for business connections and networking. I use Facebook only for friends and family connections.
Yes HTC HD7 Windows7 Mobile
Yes, Droid 2
Negative.
No I do not check LinkedIn on my iPhone3.
No I don't use my Droid 2 for LinkedIn
No, I am still living in the dark ages without a smart phone.
No. I think I signed up for a LinkedIn account but I can't remember the last time I checked it, period.
Yes. BB OS V 5.0
I have the app on my Blackberry Curve but never really use it. Like Craig said, I pretty much use the site to research folks, which I do from the office. It's a good contact manager also, but I don't link it to the BB contacts app because the LI app is so, well, flukey. It often tells me I have new notifications when none exist. The app misses friend/connect requests when the email notifications show up in my inbox. And it takes forever to load up. I agree that it could be useful but it needs some major work.
Sometimes with my Droid.
No but it could be user issue ..I have a Blackberry. I like to do it it at my office/home and leisely pueruse my Linked In. Think it deserves that time and energy.
Yes, I have an iphone, not as often as the feed types sites (twitter, facebook) but at least once a day to see updates.
Yes, from my BlackBerry Bold. Some features are missing, but the overall is ok.
No. I have been less than satisfied with the Blackberry and Droid apps.
The odd thing is if LinkedIn would come up with a feature-rich, stable app, I would be ALL over it!
No. There isnt time if I'm out. I use Linkedin from a desk.
Yes
iPad 2
Yes, from my iPhone
Yes, iPhone and iPad.
Yes droid X
Yes Droid X
Yes..
From my iphone and Samsung Galaxy TAB... whenever I am outside..
iPhone and iPad
I used apps for LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook on my Blackberry Torch. I think the user experience as a whole could be refined / enhanced, but on the whole, I it is user-friendly enough that I use all three quite often during the week. I do prefer the PC versions.
Yes from a Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7. The ease of use and speed is better than iPhone or the Droids I've seen.
Yes. I have it running on a Sprint Touch Pro 2.
Yes, BB Torch 9800.
Interestingly, I have had LinkedIn loaded and removed a few times though device transitions due to low value add and at one point experiencing high CPU conditions. I loaded it again and so far it's good. Now that my Linked In email traffic is high, I am thinking of turning off the notification to email to avoid duplication, and then the mobile app will be more useful. The other piece that I am anticipating to be more useful is I am increasingly looking for adding the names of the individuals I am meeting at shows directly on linked in rather than carrying around cards, I can do it right then and there.
just started from LG-P500, Android 2.2.1
Yes. I frequently check LinkedIn from my iPhone. It works well.
Yes, via web browser on Android phone.
I access it through my EVO
I check it through my EVO
No. I try to keep LinkedIn more professional so I only use it from my computer when I give it my undivided attention.
No. I try to keep LinkedIn more professional so I only use it from my computer when I give it my undivided attention.
I occasionally use it off of my iPhone4 to reply or connect, but because I participate in many discussions, I most often post from my MAC where a full size keyboard is needed.
No. Since I turned 50 my eyes prefer the full screen.
I do not access LinkedIn on my phone. I may start as LinkedIn Today becomes more popular and if folks start to chat more on the site. Right now, Twitter and Facebook are my primary channels.
Yes, I use the LinkedIn app on my iPhone4. I use it to search people I meet, accept invites, & send invites.

Yes, Iphone4
