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?

Steve Jobs


 
You can't help but think that Steve Jobs would've smiled at the fact that millions around the world first learned of his death, at age 56, on devices he designed--and then relayed the news and shared their thoughts on those very same devices......

RIP Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, Founder and Visionary of Apple, Has Passed Away

This is a sad day. Former CEO and the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, has passed away at age 56.

In August, Steve stepped down from his CEO position at Apple. “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.”

Steve has had a history of health and liver issues.

Confirming the loss, Apple has posted the following message:



Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could build, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
It is undoubtedly true that Steve Jobs has completely revolutionized a multitude of industries, changing the world in the process. If it was not for Steve Jobs, then we would not have modern technology. He has influenced more than just technology during his 35 years in the industry. His visions and achievements have affected almost every single person in existence today and will continue to do so. Steve’s passing is an extremely sad and significant loss.
