Couple of days back, iPhone hacker and developer - Steven Troughton-Smith along with chpwn (developer of jailbreak apps such as Infiniboard, Infinidock, Infinifolder, ProSwitcher, VoiceActivator) had figured out a way to get Siri working on a jailbroken iPhone 4 and iPod touch by bypassing the authentication issues.
This had raised hopes that they would eventually release the Siri port for non-iPhone 4S devices. But we have some bad news at least for the time being.
Last weekend, BigBoss had released a new package on Cydia called SemiTether, which allowed users to reboot their tethered jailbroken iOS 5 device without the need to connect it to the computer.
However, BigBoss’s solution had some limitations and number of users reported issues after using it. BigBoss has released a new version of SemiTether (v0.91), which incorporates the new mobile substrate by Jay Freeman a.k.a saurik that should make the semi tethered mode more stable.
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.
