Hello iPhone users, as you know, the big new feature of the iPhone 4S is Siri, a fantastic voice assistant that isn't compatible with the iPhone 4, but many of us want it on our iPhones. Initially, it was thought that Siri was programmed to work only on an A5 processor, which is why the DevTeam said it wasn't so easy to port to the iPhone 4, because installing it on an A4 would require using Apple code, which is illegal.

 

As you can see in the video, it's an iPhone 4 with iOS 5, jailbroken, and with Siri installed. As you can see, it's not very polished; it's very slow and causes problems on the iPhone, but it's just an initial phase. The problem now is that the assistant works, but it doesn't send the text to Apple's server for a response. So, even though the voice recognition works, you don't get a reply message.

 

Siri is still in beta, and it's not in Spanish, so we can give hackers all the time they need to get it working.
