Wonder why they wouldn't put it on the ipad2
I agree. That seems like a terrible move.
Being able to control my iPad as it sits on my desk via my voice would be phenomenal!

Siri needs the specs of the 4S iPhone to run properly. It may be possible to do on a 4, but the end user experience will be less than satisfactory.
Reading jailbreak community blogs, the consensus is SIRI is deeply embedded into the firmware with hard-coded hooks requiring the A5 chipset, and getting it to work on an iPhone4 is not coming any time soon, if ever.
Some of you are saying other devices have too little RAM.
iPhone 4 and 4S reportedly have the same amount.
Others are saying it requires the new A5.
Why isn't it on the iPad 2?
And others are saying it will be nearly impossible/flat out impossible that SIRI could be on other devices
Some hackers put SIRI partially on an iPod touch 4th Gen.
All arguments against SIRI being on older devices are invalid (Other then the one about the selling point, that would make some sense)
From what I have read the 4S and the iPhone 4 have the same amount of RAM.... Either way I'd think the 4 could handle it, everything else I think we will see iOS 5 be trimmed down like iOS 4 was for legacy devices.
if i recall correctly, SIRI used to be a free app, which was compatible with any ios device, but following Apples purchase of the company, the app was removed from the App Store. Technically it should be available, but it's up to the marketing folk at Apple.

I've heard from a lot of different sources about the RAM of the iPhone 4S. I have heard it's the same, but I've also heard it is improved.
