Attention jailbreakers with a craving for personal assistance: http://siriport.com/ is now live.
The entity behind the site will be releasing a port of Siri soon for the original iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4th generation. No word, yet, on iPad 2 or other iOS devices.
Right now the site is just teasing that it will be available through Cydia, but it is expected to change soon.
Update: 3:30pm ET: Yes, this Siri port does connect to Apple’s servers.

But doesn’t Siri contact apple’s servers? I’m sure they can tell a non-iPhone 4s contacting them. We will find out. If it works, time to use redsnow tethered JB with the semitether patch.
As I always said, all of these “ports” are useless unless the cracked OS/application would send to Apple’s servers forged phone credentials, posing as iPhone 4S — meaning serial number and other ID information.
Interesting… I wonder if this will be good enough to get me through until the next iPhone.
I’m not eligible for an upgrade until March! Grrr…
I need my phone to be dependable though, so a tethered jailbreak won’t cut it for me.
Until an untethered jailbreak is released, no iOS 5 for me.
I just wish apple would relase Siri for the iPad 2.
With ios 5 I have lost all reason to jailbreak anymore, sbsettings would be nice though.
SBSettings, Folder Enhancer, Backgrounder, 5 Icon Dock… The list goes on.
OK, so the courts have ruled that jailbreaking is legal. (To Apple’s dismay.)
Now they are distributing post of Apple software? At least it sounds like it to me.
That doesn’t sound legal, it sounds like they are distributing Apple IP. Unless you have to get Siri code from an iPhone 4S that you “own”. (Don’t ask, don’t tell.)
Yeah the actual jailbreak isn’t illegal, this might be.
Most of the stuff on cydia is stuff apple rejected or stuff people didn’t try to submit.
Or… Dumped from app store cause you created a better app than the competitor that complained to apple to remove the app…
The app itself doesn’t violate apples rules, they just created a better app and sold it for .99 instead of the 4.99 app. Didn’t copy code or anything..
Cydia even drops apps that are cracked, putting Siri up there.. Surprised that cydia would allow it.
Or maybe they are not and you have to manually add the repo..
Yeah, I can at least see the legal argument that a consumer who has bought a device has the right to use that device how they see fit to some degree…. But using Siri means more than using an Apple device you paid for… It means using Apples servers that you didn’t pay for, which is stealing.
What is they crack it so Android can spoof the Apple servers into thinking its an iPhone 4s and write code to handle those servers response? I know that doesn’t sound legal… So why would this be?
Just because Apple gives us iOS updates that dramatically improve a device we already paid for, doesn’t mean we are entitled to every new feature they come up with. With Siri in beta, and the servers already having a tough time handling high traffic I think it’s perfectly understandable for Apple not to port Siri to non-iPhone 4S devices right now. And if for product differentiation and to pay for the costs of Siri on the backed they deny it on older devices, I don’t see what is wrong with that either.
I too am longing for access to the Siri option. I have a iPhone4 and have found that I do have some ‘Siri light’ capability by using the free app Dragon Go! Dragon software was incorporated greatly in the production of Siri. Dragon also has a free Dictation app that is also helpful.
I’d like Siri on my iOS and OS X products, but only when Apple makes it available. I just don’t trust a third party to do that without screwing something else up.
Would be great if Apple allow you to ‘buy’ Siri as an iOS extension for the iPhone 4 or iPad 2 once it comes out of Beta. Would be legal and give Apple revenue in exchange for using the Siri servers. Everyone wins!
Yes, it would be great… but I don’t see that happening until 4s is about to be replaced by an iPhone 5 since the real tangible cool difference (besides speed and better camera) is the Siri feature. It wouldn’t make sense for them to reduce their market in that fashion. And the need of the upgraded processor more than likely is necessary for Siri to operate to its full potential given the complexity of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) requirements.
My iPhone 4 needs a girlfriend, and her name is SIRI.
Is this jackoplane or stroughton smiths port?? Info please!!(:
So how many idiots visited the site and became infected with a zero day attack. LOL
What’s zero day attack?
I wonder at what price Apple would be able to sell Siri for iPhone 4 (and even 3GS) users. There should be a price for offsetting any delays in 4S adoption. After all, people who just bought an iPhone 4, won’t switch to a 4S anyway, not in the first year, and by then Apple will be able to sell them a 5 (or a 4.5SX+:)
