XING, a leading business network in Europe, has launched a free application for BlackBerry smartphones.

By downloading XING business professionals will have access to their personal network directly on their BlackBerry in addition to keeping track of all their contacts, phone numbers, email addresses and being automatically updated online by the members themselves.

XING will work on any Internet-enabled BlackBerry running OS Version 4.2.1 or higher with at least 64 MB internal memory and 170 KB of available memory.

You can download it by visiting XING.com from your BlackBerry Browser, or get more info by visiting the same link from your desktop computer.
