Apple may be working on Siri for older devices
Various beta releases of iOS 5.1 have already given us a number of clues as to the possible plans of Apple, including the inevitable things like releasing the iPad 3 and iPhone 5, to the plausible with the code saying that those next-gen devices will have quad-core processors, to now the possible with news of Siri.

Apple may be working on Siri for older devices
Apparently, after installing the newest iOS 5.1 beta (v.3) users with the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone 3Gs, have all found a possibly telling setting in the Keyboard menu. These users are seeing a disclaimer underneath the options for Intenational Keyboards which describes the privacy policy and data policies for dictation, and of course Siri is the only form of dictation that would be built-in to any iOS devices.

Of course, this could just be a bug that those users are seeing this disclaimer. It would seem odd that iPhone 4 and iPad 2 users wouldn't be in the mix, but it could be the real deal. Only time will tell.

Dude, ANY iOS device should have Siri. Because Apple didn't develop Siri. Apple just bought the company which made Siri in the first place. Also - Siri has no effectve system requirements since all the data gets analyzed on Apple's servers.

just saying

Apple doesn't need to work on support for Siri for iphone4. All you have to do is jailbreak it and look up what udidactivation. They have successfully ported siri onto the iPhone 4 and it works exactly like it does on the 4s.

And they said that it wasn't possible on older models. I love apple products but hate their marketing scheme.

They never said they couldn't put Siri on the iPhone 4, they just said they won't

If Apple does release Siri to older devices now, that would be kind of disgusting to me. I mean it is great for the people that own those older devices, but only solidifies the notion that Apple just held that feature from those older customers to sell more of the new device.

Apple really are making 4s buyers looking stupid,siri will be available on the iphone 4 and the phones will be the exact same despite one being a so called 'new' model

They're probably just going to add the dictation feature in the system wide keyboard like on the 4S since Siri and the system wide keyboard dictation are separate features.
