When LinkedIn for BlackBerry was first release back in March it only supported the Curve, Bold and Tour models on OS 4.3 or later. Today the official LinkedIn Blog announced that the BlackBerry app has been updated to version 1.1 with support for the Pearl and Storm! Here are the rest of the changes in version 1.1 in addition to the new device support:

Localized for members in Italy and Brazil
More detail is provided of what your connections have changed on their profile. You can now see what sections have been changed (Education, Headline, Experience, etc.), as well as when your connections adding things like an Instant Messenger account, Twitter account, or adding their birthday to their profile.
Bug fixes like improvements to BlackBerry font usage and the BlackBerry Contacts application is updated if you’ve enabled address book integration with LinkedIn.

With the added device support in 1.1, LinkedIn for BlackBerry is now available on the Tour, Curve, Bold, Pearl, Storm and over 21 devices running BlackBerry OS v4.3 or later. For more info or to download the app go to linkedin.com/blackberry.

I had waited VERY PATIENTLY for the Storm to be supported. Downloaded and installed the application yesterday. Noticed that my battery was almost DEAD within 4 hours of installation. Found the application still running (from Menu key /switch application). Tried the BB Storm Escape key to “quit” the application – no luck, still running. Tried the BB Storm End key to “quit” the application – no luck, still running. Tried the Menu key / close option – no luck, still running. Tried Menu key / logout – it logged out, but was still running. The program continues running no matter what I do.
I finally had to delete the application because battery life on a Smartphone is more important than any application. I understand this is version 1 of the Storm being supported. But I can’t use an application that chews through my battery like that. When an application is in the background it can’t continue to process and drain the battery at such an extreme rate – bad coding.
