1. Who is currently working on this port?At this current time, the people that are working on this particular port of Siri are Jack (@Jackoplane) and iH8sn0w. Joshua Tucker of ModMyi is the beta tester for this particular version.2. What devices will be supported?Currently, the port is being tested on an iPhone 4. However, the end goal is to port Siri to all devices. Right now, we can not make any promises to when those will be, however the iPhone 3GS is looking promising for the next step. 3. Are we in need of any beta testers?Jack and the team working on the port (including myself - beta testing wise) don’t need any testers at this time. Asking if that is possible is not the best idea - if we do need more people, we will extent that opportunity out when the time comes.4. When will this port be released?We are not specifying an ETA. The reason being is because we do not want to miss our expectation and have repercussions from people on the outside saying “You didn’t make your deadline.” Note that as soon as possible, we will release that information. For the time being however, there’s no decided or even thought-up date for releasing Siri to the public.5. How will this port be distributed?There are numerous ways of distributing, however it’s a matter of how the files end up being compiled as well as cost. Cydia has been suggested many times and that is a viable option. However, we’re not limiting ourselves to just that venue as the tables may turn. At this particular moment in time, where this port will be distributed is currently undecided. Those of us that are hands-on with the work are always entertaining new ideas and will decide the venue when the time is right.6. Will it be free or paid?This is still undecided. This particular component is highly reliant on how we distribute this piece of software. Again, as the above, we’re thinking through it thoroughly to ensure the best for all. The reason why it may be required to pay (if not donate) is because there are hosting related costs that will need to be taken care of to make sure Siri works for non-iPhone 4S users.7. When you say that there are “legal issues” to be dealt with, what do you mean?Because Siri is Apple’s product as well as copyrighted material, one can’t just release these files and not get away with violating the law. When the news of Jack’s work as well as my involvement began, the files I had were strictly Apple’s. Thus, if we had given those files out, then we could possibly be viable for copyright infringement. And as many of you know from people like geohot, that’s no good in the hood. 8. What’s the current status of the port?Due to the legal nature of this port as well has for performance purposes, we’re are starting from the ground up. Re-writing code and that sort of thing to avoid copyright infringement. At this current stage, performance of Siri is just as good as on the iPhone 4S. 9. When will a video be released?A performance video will be released tonight to show that the speed of Siri has been greatly improved. As for a full fledged video, that will be here in the next few days. 10. Is a jailbreak required to install Siri on a non-iPhone 4S deviceAbsolutely; no question. 11. Any update on the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5/iPhone 4SWe know nothing more than the public does. It’s not worth asking because we have absolutely no idea.12. How does the Siri port connect to Apple’s servers?When you first activate an iPhone 4S and Siri, Apple’s servers basically say “Oh, you’re an iPhone 4S. You’re clear.” Since we don’t have that luxury, we have to intercept the data that is being exchanged between devices to initially “trick” Apple’s servers into thinking that the device is authorized. So, imagine that what we have setup is a middle man.The iPhone 4 (in this case) sends out commands to Apple’s servers, we intercept and change the data, send to Apple’s servers, and Apple’s servers goes “Cool beans.” From there, it performs the actions we ask.13. What is required to host this type of capability?We won’t really go into this because the process is not something that one can easily explain. However, as you guys have mentioned in chat, hosting this particular server to intercept data will cost money and will be the venue for all users to use Siri without an iPhone 4S. 14. Even though you can’t give an ETA, is it days, months, years, lifetimes, millenniums, never?Weeks.15. Is the authentication process made just one or every time?Anytime you request from Apple’s servers, it performs a method of authentication.16. What’s so special about the iPhone 4S and its connection with Siri?There is nothing special about the 4S that makes it so that Siri can only work on that chip. Nothing is hardware accelerated in regards to Siri. 17. When you say that authentication is required, what does it take?Not releasing this information at this time.18. I want proof of the performance! How can I know that it is performing much better?Here’s the video.

Apple Releases iOS 4.3.2
Apple has just released yet another iOS update. This time, as expected, we have 4.3.2, which gives us minor bug fixes and security patches for the iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 3GS, iPad2, iPad, and 3rd and 4th generation iPod touch. For now, the update doesn't apply to the Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA).
According to Apple, the update:
- Fixes an issue that occasionally caused blank or frozen video during a FaceTime call
- Fixes an issue that prevented some international users from connecting to 3G networks on iPad Wi-Fi + 3G
- Contains the latest security updates
Immediately following the release, MuscleNerd tweeted the following: "ultrasn0w unlockers stay away from today's iOS 4.3.2! Everyone else, make sure you have your 4.3.1 SHSH blobs saved." He followed with: "Apple sure is aggressively patching these untethered jailbreaks lately (but that's still better than lawsuits)."
The last incremental update for iOS was rolled out just a few short weeks ago, tackling cellular network issues as well as graphics glitches associated with the fourth-generation iPod touch. Within hours of iOS 4.3.1 dropping, speculation mounted about another looming release - the one we received today.

Push Notifications on Hackactivated IOS 4.0
Follow these simple steps to enable Push Notifications on your unlocked iPhone:
Make sure you’ve jailbroken and unlocked your iPhone 3G with iOS 4.
This is best and easily done on a fresh install of the firmware Open up Cydia, and add this address to the sources: http://cmdshft.ipwn.me/apt
Once Cydia is done updating, go to the search field and type in: Push Doctor. Tap it, and then press install on the top right.
This takes some time to download and install. Once this is done, restart your iPhone. Now you need to add any app from the App Store that uses Push Notifications. That’s it. You should now receive Push Notifications normally. You can test this by using pushfix, the instant messaging app. Send someone a message to send you one back and quickly exit the app. You should get the notification instantly. |

Another iPhone 4G in the wild
Yet another fourth generation iPhone handset that was leaked out. It was displayed by a Vietnamese site - Taoviet. A brand new 16GB iPhone 4G was flaunted in front of a camera and then pictures of its teardown were also uploaded on the Vietnamese forum.
Despite the whole lost/stolen iPhone 4G drama that took place last month, this is yet another incident of an iPhone 4G device leak. It seems like a pre-production iPhone 4G unit, since a pair of screws at the bottom of the device have been removed, the back panel of the iPhone 4G unit contains XXX for the model number and FCC ID number, and carries a 16GB label.
The teardown of the iPhone 4G unit exposed the Apple A4 System on Chip and also text N90, which is its rumored internal codename. It appears to say "Inferno" on the screen with some text on the bottom that indicates the battery life is at 24%. It's hard to say for sure, but it could represent some sort of firmware diagnostics that we have previously seen on prototype iPhone hardware. This one appears to be called "Bonfire!".
