If Siri can run on a jailbroken iPhone 4 (not the new 4S) or even an iPod Touch, then why would Apple not put it in the app store and make it available for all?
Siri is supposed to be the breakout feature for the 4S that sets it apart from the others in the line-up (or even the competitors). Apple will surely move to squash this option, but .
If GM came out with a car that got 200 MPG because of a feature in the latest model--- then others realized that they could tweak their current models to also get that mileage--- GM would be pissed, but should those people not be allowed to continue to get better mileage?
Should us lowly iPhone 4 owners not be entitled to use the new feature, since it's now been proven that it's not a function of the 4S's superior processor or other hardware--- simply a marketing choice?
You be the judge.
On a similar note: Why the difference in App stores between Canada and US. I can understand media restrictions, since TV networks may have rights to broadcast, etc--- but Apps? Why wouldn't an app developer want to sell their wares in every market imaginable? I know the answer-- these are rhetorical questions to make the app developers I know #fightthepower!
