LinkedIn has launched an iPad app. And yes, the iPad takes advantage of the retina display. It also takes advantage of multi-touch gestures.

The LinkedIn iPad app is broken down into three areas. You get all your professional updates and news in one place, you can access your profile, connections and activity dashboard with a swipe, and last but not the least the inbox shows you all your LinkedIn invitations and messages.

The mobile platform is the fastest growing consumer service on LinkedIn, says Manish Sharma, senior product manager, Mobile and Tablet, LinkedIn.
