How To Install/Port Siri On iPhone 4 and iPod Touch Running iOS 5 :
Unlike previous methods there is now an easy way available to port/install Siri on to the Older iOS Devices like iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G.As we all know by now that Siri is one of the 10 best features Apple iPhone 4S and it is a Voice-recognizing personal assistant for you, which does whatever command you prompt it to do. You can Send twitter tweets and can even Update your Facebook status using Siri without even touching your iPhone 4S. So far there is no best way to install Siri GUI and now a method is available with which you can actually install Siri onto iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G, which are older iOS devices.As mentioned in the previous sentence the port is GUI so there wont be any chance of using voice commands on your older iOS devices after installing Siri on to them.
The fact behind this is that, whatever the voice input is given by you through Siri cant be accepted by the Apple’s servers, as they allow this feature only through iPhone 4S and not through any other iOS devices. So,you might ask me then whats the use of this?Though there is no satisfactory answer to this but still can say that tricking Apple servers from older devices is not so far as the hackers are still finding ways which are pretty much progressive and this is another step taken by them.This is just like showing it off without any practical use or functionality.It’s just a way hackers proved that the graphical elements of Siri can be incorporated into the Older iOS devices like iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G.The below guide can be followed upon your own interest!
