Developer Eric Day has removed Siri0us, an app that enabled Siri Dictation on the iPhone 4, from his Cydia repository.
Day posted on his Twitter today that he removed the package so that he wouldn't get into trouble, presumably from Apple or Nuance.
My site is down, PLZ DONOT try to access my site any more. Siri0us is removed. I have to keep my site up for activating iBluever!
PLZ remove http://apt.if0rce.com from your Cydia sources.
@myRepoSpace Can you please remove this package? As it uses unauthorized service. Please do not make me getting sued. ;-) thanks.
Day is looking for an alternative voice recognition provider and could bring back Siri0us if he can find one.
If I found a better voice recognition service, I will release it again. Thanks everyone!
Nuance's service is great. I asked them if their will sell this service to Cydia app and what the price is. They just ignore my question.

I downloaded it. Still have it, too. Only benefit is speaking the text, emails, etc. that's it. I don't even use it but it's cool to have.

Yeah it didn't work on my 3GS or iPhone 4! I'm pretty sure you can't be sued for something you say does something but actually doesn't do anything!

I have a hunch that you just don't know what your looking for. if you're unaware it's a small button located on the keyboard, that's all.

Nothing to miss really, all this did was erase siri completely from my iphone 4 and my 3gs, did absolutely nothing and would never install. it would fail because it could not overwrite the .privateframeworks and erased them in the process. I would rather keep my full siri port and wait til I am able to trick the guzzoni.com.apple server into letting me use siri

we are next in litigation. For all those hoping for full siri on iPhone 4 and etc, this effectively ends it because this little bit caused legal action, imagine what happens on full siri port.
