Jailbreak Lets You Get Siri on Any iDevice - Legally!

Siri on an iPad
 Many people are disappointed that Siri only runs on the iPhone 4S. It's another one of Apple's nasty tricks; just like how they won't let you upgrade devices to the current iOS build if they're too old. Sure, the iPad 3 and the next iPod Touch will both come with Siri, but some of us don't have the patience to wait, or the money to buy a shiny new iDevice. Or both. So don't worry folks; just as you can jailbreak an old iDevice to get the latest iOS build, you can jailbreak any iDevice running iOS 5 to get Siri.

Grant Paul, Steven Troughton-Smith, and Ryan Petich, three well-known iOS hackers, are proud to announce that their new jailbreak, Spire, lets you get Siri on any iDevice running iOS 5. You may know of other jailbreaks that came out prior to this one that could do the same thing. But, the reason why this one is so special is that it is legal. If you're jealous of Siri, all you have to do is go on Cydia now, download the installer, and after you put it on your iDevice you'll just have to download Siri from Apple and then set up a proxy.
