Haha I really want Siri on my iPhone 4 any suggestions how? I'd prefer not to jailbreak but I don't even know if that's an option thanks

The official version will only work on the iPhone 4S and newer. There is a program from the App Store called Evi, which has some of the functionality of Siri. I believe that it works with the iPhone 4.

The best solution is to jailbreak the iPhone 4, I have done it on mine and Siri works great. You will need a server for it to work you can get it from uhelios, he charges but it works great and there are few added features that the regular Siri does not have

You can always try out Dragon Go! From Nuance available in the App Store. It works with a bunch of apps like Pandora and Yelp, etc.

Google search i4siri and that will give you directions on how to install on the iPhone 4. You will need to be jailbroken.

Go to the app store and get Evi.

Evi and Dragon Go both provide some of the same functionality. Siri uses Nuance's speech recognition tech so Dragon Go might be closer.

Thanks guys appreciate it

There also is Vlingo, which seems quite well rated in the App Store, though I've not used it.

Heh forgot about that one. Nuance just bought them too.

I know I posted a similar form. But I felt like this should be a separate forum. Will apple ever come out with an update to have Siri available for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4th gen. I'm really curious, thanks guys

Not likely, since iOS 6 would have been that vehicle, and Siri is still not supported on those devices.

No. Apple leaves features out to incentivize people buying new phones. They also falsely claim that "hardware limitations" prevent these features, which also seems false. Look at the first iPhone, it couldn't do MMS and Apple claimed it was hardware issue. Same thing with Siri. A vast majority of the processing is done on a server, so the phone's processor isn't doing a ton of the work.

The 3D mapping is different, as it takes a lot more processing.

So even after they make a new iPhone they still won't do it

Correct! They would rather make you buy a newer compatible device. No incentive for Apple to make it backward compatible.
