Siri makes it to iPad, jailbreak will be required

Siri is hitting news once again; however, this time the personal assistant is showing her face on the iPad 1st-generation. One thing’s for sure — this iPad is jailbroken.

Jack, or @jackoplane, has done it again it seems! This time, he says that Siri on the iPad 1 isn’t communicating with the Apple servers but any iOS device can be spoofed to look like an iPhone 4S and communicate with the servers. If all else fails, Siri can still be used to query Google. At least this time, @Joshmtucker of ModMyi has confirmed that their work is indeed real.

So what does this mean to us? Users might be inching closer and closer to having Siri on their non-iPhone 4S device. However, there is still a chance for the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to natively get Siri from Apple itself. After all, Siri is in beta. What do you guys think? Legitimate work? Will we ever see Siri outside the 4S? Share your wisdom below.
