MuscleNerd, a member of the iPhone Dev-Team has indicated that a port of Siri from the iPhone 4S to other devices will likely require piracy.

Anyone hoping for a "port" of Siri from iPhone4S: pending a very low-level A5 exploit, it likely can't be done without piracy :(

(only way to extract Siri files from iPhone4S filesystem without pirating is to have the main FS keys, requiring low-level exploit)

Siri is an iPhone 4S only feature lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. You can learn more about it here or see it in action here.

Ever since the unlocks for iPhone 4 started coming from other sources while mysteriously remaining "in the works" from the dev team it's become obvious Apple "got" to them. Maybe they offered them a compromise: you can tethered jailbreak, but no more unlocks, and in return we won't try to stop you anymore. The sad reality is, outside of a tethered jailbreak for SOME devices, the dev team has become nothing more than an advertising tool for Apple. I thank them for all they did, but it's time to stop expecting them to come up with anything new. They certainly have the talent, but Apple stopped them from sharing it. Don't believe me? When's the last meaningful release they've done that's actually been a product of THEIR hacking? See my point? You have to go back to the original 4.0 unlock... They're dead folks...

You may very well be on to something there. And now I'm going to have to google these other unlocks you've mentioned. Assuming failure on my part, can you tell me what unlocks you are talking about? Thanks in advance.

Just go with the jailbreak and leave the robotic talking assistant for other hackers. PS : jailbreak is not illegal !

Because you have to buy a iPhone 4S. Full stop, no more questions

Who cares? All there jailbreak authors only pretend they care about piracy but in fact I believe they understand that most people jailbreak iphone/ipad to install pirated apps.

Thats just his way of covering his ass before he gets in trouble for releasing a jailbreak.

We're all totally cool with that! Make it happen! :D

At that point it's a patent infringement. Don't think the devteam is going to go to jail for us guys.
