Apple Siri for All – Maybe

Hi all, Apple’s Siri has quickly become a geeks dream. Beckoning back to the days of StarTrek people have always wanted to be able to order their tech around verbally as well as with a keyboard. Now thanks to 2 hackers Siri may be coming to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs owners of the world.

2 hackers are close, or so they say, to finding out a way to get Siri onto a jailbroken iPhone. Since jailbreaking isn’t illegal i North America it could greatly increase the installed base of Siri.

Hi all, Apple has announced and released the iPhone 4s. One of the key features of the new hardware platform is Siri. It is meant as an assistant that you can assign tasks via voice commands. It seems geared towards tasks like driving or running where you could use your hands to do these tasks but you shouldn’t.

I have seen Siri in action and it or, I suppose she, works pretty. Unless you have actual work to do there isn’t much to show off to your friends with Siri which is why I think Apple added in a bunch of random questions that you can ask Siri. For example, you can ask Siri where to bury a body, what the meaning of like is or what she is wearing. These are alll supposed to have several answers that are given at random and they are supposed to be quite funny/sarcastic. One of the most interesting rumours that I have heard is that Siri can recognize another Siri and will start to have a conversation between themselves. That would be interesting to see.
