Twitter and LinkedIn apps for BlackBerry 10 updated

We've been waiting patiently for updates for some official apps for BlackBerry 10, and today we get a treat as both LinkedIn and Twitter have been updated for BlackBerry 10 devices.

You should see the updates available in BlackBerry World within the next 24 hours, so if you aren't seeing them just yet, don't panic.
