Couple of weeks back, Siri - Apple's revolutionary personal assistant feature, that is exclusively available only on Apple's iPhone 4S, was ported to iPhone 4. And last week it was also successfully ported to iPad and iPod touch.
However, at that time iPhone hacker and developer - Steven Troughton-Smith had only managed to get Siri's UI working as Apple was not authenticating commands on its servers from non-iPhone 4S devices.
Steven Troughton-Smith has just tweeted that he along with chpwn (developer of jailbreak apps such as Infiniboard, Infinidock,Infinifolder, ProSwitcher, VoiceActivator) has has figured out a way for Siri to work on a jailbroken iPhone 4 and fourth generation iPod touch by bypassing the authentication issues.
Have Siri connecting to Apple's servers on iPhone 4 after a hack session with@chpwn!
He has posted the following screenshot of Siri working over Wi-Fi:
He has also posted the video of Siri working on iPod touch:
It remains to be seen if the Siri port will be released to the public as it cannot be done without piracy as they have ported some of the components from iPhone 4S to the older iOS devices to get it to work.
But kudos to Steven Troughton-Smith and chpwn to get Siri working on older iOS devices. It clearly shows that there is no technical reason why Siri can't run on older iOS devices.

So how do I get this on my iPhone 4?
By sticking the phone in your ass and asking Siri. Is it working now.
HA
I knew when I asked that question, the first few comments would be something like that. Not bad thought…
i gather Da Man is talking from expierience….
i think ur not educated (>_<)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
you should be ashamed of yourself
Dang! I tried your advise and now not only does my phone NOT work, but it now smells like poo…
must be a droid user
Siri told me that I should have accepted the doctor’s advice to have a hemorrhoidectomy as soon as possible…
Lolz…
And I thank Siri for that advice…
you should be the funny man behind siri jokes lol
would pay for this!
What about siri on iPhone 3GS
No for 3GS. And you need a upgrade.
It was originally available for download previous before the iphone4s was even thought of?
but back then it was not this sophisticated.
true, but the only changes are server-side.
Good start, good luck guys.
so when are we going to get the…… (untether jailbreak for IPHONE 4.)
Good question
))) When stable untether ( not early alpha ) it ll be done ?
HELLO IPHONEHACKS,
THERE ARE SEVERAL BLOGS WHICH DEMONSTRATE THE STEPS TO PUT SIRI (GUI) ON IPOD TOUCH AND IPHONE 4 (EVEN 3GS) ! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT IN THIS BLOG AS WELL
If that’s the case then go and stay on those blog sites. Why come here and nag about it?
you are an asshole
Never going to be released, so whats the point?
Because it’s interesting to know. Furthermore, it acknowledges the amount of work and effort they put into it. This world does not revolve around you like your mom makes it out to be
If you know it can be done, then with a little work you can do it yourself. Legal or not. Being that it requires pirating means it won’t reach mainstream jail breaking, but it can be done for those connected or skilled.
Its ok cos i hear theres a guy from pakistan who’s also got it working on A4 devices, but he said he’s gonna upload the details tonight.
So fingers crossed.
I cant understand punjabi so I dont think Siri from Pakistan will be any use!
Siri and untethered ios 5 on iphone4 ? Hmmm nice ! Cheers for that and for lovely boobies
!!
lol it’d be great if siri understand punjabi lmao
Hmm…if Siri can understand punjabi, not only would Harold and Kumar get serious kicks out of it, but it would be also be a Trekkies wet dream come true.
May I be calling you Siri?
How can i get this in ipod 4? I have downloaded siriport….
