i4Siri app brings Siri to all iOS 5 devices… if they’re jailbroken
Unless you’ve got an iPhone 4S, you’re left out of the Siri party, cursed to live in a world where you can’t ask a virtual man inside your phone for weather reports and the like. But that’s all changing thanks to an app called i4Siri, spotted by SlashGear.
Available for jailbroken iOS 5 devices – that’s the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2 and iPod Touch – i4Siri is something that Apple won’t be happy about, but apparently hasn’t managed to block yet.
Apple says that one of the reasons Siri isn’t on other iOS products is because it requires a beefy processor, but it seems to be working just fine on a “lowly” iPhone 4 in the below video, which also explains how to install it (which, needless to say, you do at your own risk).
We’ve covered a way to get Siri on your iPhone 4 before, but it’s nice to have another, newer option available. If you try it, let us know how you get on in the comments box below.

If siri is dependent on processor power why was it not included on the ipad 3,as the A5X is supposedly not only better than the iphones A5 but the tegra 3?

I think you are right. I am positive that Apple will not be happy about this little app that allows Siri on the older iPhones and Ipads. However, Apple comes out with a new phone and new iPad every year and most people can't afford that and they get left out in the dust.
There are things that people will jailbreak their iPhones for at a casino party but then there are those who realize that this is risky business because your phone could be ruined if you don't do it right.
