H1Siri Brings Siri to the iPhone 4 and iPod touch via Cydia

People will do anything to get Siri onto non-iPhone 4S devices, and we saw that with the tweak Siri0us (which was ultimately removed). This time around, H1Siri has emerged by a group of hackers in China called the CD-Dev Team. This hack brings full-fledged Siri to your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4th generation on iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1.

The hack, available on a custom repo in Cydia has been deemed illegal and potentially dangerous if installed, as noted by @chpwn. The copyrighted binaries involved are taken from the iPhone 4S, plus all your personal data from email, SMS, Calendar, Contacts, etc will be exposed to third party servers.

iDB posts a hands-on video of the hack, via the custom Cydia repo: http://www.iphone3gsystem.fr/cydia/

All your personal info will go to a server in China and this also uses Apple copyrighted codes.

Best solution, get an android.  The Siri technology that apple has been marketing has been on other smartphones for quite some time.  But I guess that’s what makes apple such an amazing company.  Convince people that apple has “revolutionized” every piece of technology, even though it likely existed on something else previously.

no it hasn’t…..IRIS was created in 8 hours, which was AFTER SIRI was released…..

Siri originally was a company working on this software. There used to be an Iphone app called ‘Siri’. But apple bought the software.

That has nothing to do with my response. I was responding to the comment suggesting we get an Android because the technology existed on other smartphones before Apple released Siri….androids answer to Siri (Iris) came out AFTER Siri was released.
