Siri on any IOS device????

SIRI-TRIPLE

Siri is one of the iPhone 4S’ biggest sell­ing points, and I think any­one who’s had chance to try out the fea­ture would agree that’s it’s pret­ty excep­tion­al. For the time being, it’s exclu­sive to Apple’s lat­est iPhone, but one hack­er claims to have it run­ning on any device run­ning iOS 5, and says a jail­bro­ken device is not nec­es­sary.


An iPhone devel­op­er that goes by the name of Jack­o­plane announced today that he has suc­cess­ful­ly port­ed Siri to other iOS 5 devices, and got­ten it to com­mu­ni­cate with Apple’s servers with­out any issues. It means that all iOS 5 devices are capa­ble of run­ning Siri — you just need to install it.

So when can you get it? Well, accord­ing to Jack­o­plane, he’s not sure yet, and does note in mes­sages post­ed to Twit­ter that “the hard­est part is still ahead.”

SIRI-ON-IOS-5

The full list of devices sup­port­ed by Jack­o­plane’s hack includes:

iPad 1
iPad 2
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
It’s unclear at this point how Jack­o­plane has got­ten Siri to work on other devices, or when the soft­ware will be avail­able. How­ev­er, I have a feel­ing that Apple will put a stop to this soon after its release by block­ing any device that isn’t an iPhone 4S from its servers.

Still, this is promis­ing news for those with­out an iPhone 4S, and those who would like to use Siri on their iPod touch and iPad. Would you like to see Siri on older devices?
