I download Siri in Cydia and installed it in my iphone 4 and it’s working great. I got the repository in ＷＷＷ.ＪＡＩＬＢＲＥＡＫＨＯＭＥ.ＣＯＭ

This doesn’t work with *most* bluetooth headsets. It also doesn’t let you set reminders, alarms call or text people and it also doesn’t seem to have regular expression search for instance “will it rain tonight?” or “rain tonight?” . It also doesn’t let you launch apps or turn off radios.

It also doesn’t seem to be able to be launched if your phone is locked (although i haven’t done much fidgeting with IT and activator yet)

I do however like that GVS seems to be much snappier for long questions.

The voice reception seems a little bit more fluid in google and especially if you have multiple queries.

All in all this is a great replacement if you don’t use calling and texting to much and if you don’t have a need for application and setting management via voice.

I’d say if you are a iphone4 or lower user on a pre-paid plan with good wifi coverage this is for you.

Otherwise stick to voice search (voicecommand) or siri (or Ac!d/spire) for the time being.

Another option is Evi as well, although evi is even more limited as you will have to press the voice search button even if you still use activator with it.

Evi has also been removed from the appstore so you will need to find other methods to get it.

Godspeed!

Unstoppable, yet hindered by their own greed. I seriously wish pain upon Apple. It seems as though they’ve lost focus on what’s important and are trying to just horde money and exploit their name to the largest extent. They won’t last two more decades. We will see a merger when Samsung and Google deliver.

It’s a shame Apple started this whole thermonuclear thing with Google. Just imagine how good they’d make each other’s devices if they co-operated. An iPhone 5 with a fully integrated version of Google Now would be a thing of beauty.

It would be better if you held down the home button it transforms to an Android phone
