More progress seen in porting Siri to 'older' Apple devices - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "With Apple Inc. still restricting voice-activated assistant Siri to its new iPhone 4S, developers remain hard at work to bring it to other Apple devices.

Developers iH8sn0w and Jack (@Jackoplane), and beta tester Joshua Tucker, are working to port Siri to an iPhone 4 and an even earlier iPhone 3GS.

"Currently, the port is being tested on an iPhone 4. However, the end goal is to port Siri to all devices. Right now, we can not make any promises to when those will be, however the iPhone 3GS is looking promising for the next step," they said.

They said they are writing the code from the ground up for performance purposes and to avoid copyright infringement. They hinted this work may take "weeks."

However, the catch —as expected— is that a non-iPhone 4S must be jailbroken, or modified to accept unauthorized apps, to use the port.
