Siri port now speaking to Apple servers, avoiding Cydia

a bit cajoling from a clever developer got Siri chatting with the iPhone 4 and the iPad , but Apple’s tight-lipped servers kept the conversation effectively one-sided. The last-gen port was still missing something, and developer Steven Troughton-Smith knew where find it: a jailbroken iPhone 4S. In an interview with 9to5mac, Troughton-Smith said that obtaining Siri to chat to Cupertino’s data servers only took ten minutes after he had all the pieces in place. Ready to your personal assistant port? Hold the telephone, the method is a little dodgy — our hacking hero said that obtaining Siri at the older device is a 20-step process, and it requires files from the iPhone 4S that he says aren’t his to distribute. When asked about distributing the hack over Cydia , Troughton-Smith said it was something he couldn’t join. On Twitter he suggested that a release would “anger the hive,” but promised to post detailed notes at the hack after a iPhone 4S jailbreak drops.
