Two enterprising young hackers, euwars and rud0lf77, are the ones who put Siri on the iPod, and you can see the results of their labor in the video after the break. Of course, Apple’s servers still aren’t as friendly as the virtual voice assistant, so Siri’s latest cameo remains a silent one — but some Siri’s better than none, right?
The port of the sultry voice assistant was accomplished by using the 4S Siri and Springboard files, and some serious elbow grease, no doubt.

A nicely produced concept video for how Nuance’s voice recognition could be integrated into iOS 5.

This functionality can be offered to 3rd party applications as well using the standard iOS text field.
First of all this app cant compare with Google’s voice search app. It does sooo much more and it seems to be much more receptive for non N. American accent. The design of the app is user friendly. From the home tab, the button you tap to trigger the voice-recognition is fat (check it out in the screen grab above). So your thumb, however svelte or thick, can’t miss it even if you aren’t looking. The virtual button responds to being held down and released or tapped to start and tapped to finish when commands are spoken.
