Last month, Apple released iOS 5.1 to the masses. The update included few new features, but it did bring Japanese Siri support. This brought the digital assistant's number of compatible languages up to a whopping... four.
But if Siri doesn't currently support your language, that doesn't mean you're out of luck. Developer Kunal Kaul took matters into his own hands and taught Siri to speak Hindi — with a little help from his proxy server...
Wouldn't it be great if you could have Facebook integration that acted similar to iOS' built in Twitter integration? Well, now you can.
Introducing Fusion — a jailbreak tweak that integrates Facebook, Foursquare, and even MySpace (obligatory lol) into your default Twitter composition pane. But the tweak doesn't stop there, it also allows you to composes messages for all of the aforementioned networks using Siri.

Apple's been heavily promoting Siri, an iPhone 4S-exclusive digital secretary, in television commercials that are being aired in the United States and promoted on Apple's website and their YouTube channel. But up until now, the company refrained from promoting the feature in print.
Apparently, the company has changed its mind as the first-ever Siri print ad makes its appearance in Rolling Stone magazine. The full-page advert depicts a user checking out a list of San Francisco coffee shops on an iPhone 4S.
This is accompanied by the tagline "I could use a latte" and a line saying "You speak. Siri helps. Say hello to the most amazing iPhone yet"...
Two weeks ago, a guy from New York filed a class-action lawsuit in a California court, accusing Apple for “misleading” customers with Siri features set. Expect more of the same as another dude files a complaint, specifically mentioning "false and deceptive representations" of Siri's capabilities in nationwide advertising.
The plaintiff claims television commercials that depict what Siri is capable of "diverge greatly" from real world experience. To be perfectly clear, Siri does tend to behave somewhat erratically from time to time, though Apple warns it's a beta product.
The question is, should Apple heavily promote a beta product as the key feature of the iPhone 4S and - more importantly - is Siri advertising accurate and honest?
Siri, a digital assistant exclusive to the iPhone 4S, is heavily featured in Apple's advertising as it's the handset's key differentiator in the eye of public. For all the rage surrounding Siri, Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs didn't really like her name to begin with. This comes from the mouth of Dag Kittlaus, the guy who made Siri and became a millionaire following a personal phone call from Steve Jobs.
"Siri" is Norwegian for "beautiful woman who leads you to victory." A new report highlighted Kittlaus's speech from last weekend in which he briefly reflected on how he came up with the Siri name and why Steve Jobs wasn't a fan of his choice.
Siri's popularity has been somewhat of a controversial topic over the last 6 months. Although the digital assistant dropped some jaws when Apple introduced it to the public last fall, a lot of folks have since written the feature off as a novelty.
But according to a recent study from Parks Associates, a consulting firm, Siri is much more popular than you probably would've guessed. Surprisingly, 87% of iPhone 4S owners surveyed use at least one Siri-related feature each month...
Apparently Japanese support wasn't the only Siri-related enhancement Apple included in its recently-released software update. It looks like iOS 5.1 also brought deeper Yelp integration to the digital assistant.
Siri has always returned Yelp-rated businesses on a number of queries, but tapping those results haven't always taken you straight to the Yelp application. Well, now it does...
Although the whole Chuck Norris Facts meme has ran its course, apparantly there is a jailbreak developer that doesn't want to let it die.
Chuck Norris Facts for Chatbot is an AssistantExtensions plugin that will spout off Chuck Norris "facts" faster than Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick a saber-toothed tiger...
In the months leading up to Apple's iPad event, there was a lot of speculation on whether or not the new tablet would include Siri. The feature has become quite popular since it debuted last October, so iPad integration made perfect sense.
Well, as you may know, Apple has foregone the digital assistant in its latest slate. But its Dictation component some how made the cut. Wondering how well the voice-to-text service works on the latest iDevice? Keep reading to find out...
Sure, Apple may have released Siri without all of the functionality that we'd like. But luckily, for those of us who are jailbroken, Cydia has a plethora of tweaks and add-ons available that make the digital assistant much more capable.
Such is the case with SiriSports. The new tweak, developed by Evan Coleman, adds the ability to look up sport scores and game times for your favorite professional team in the MLB, NBA, and NHL using Siri-flavored voice commands...
Apple's Siri, featured exclusively on the iPhone 4S, has captured the attention of many over the last few months. Some customers viewed it as a pretty cool addition to iOS, while some have said Siri is pretty pointless. The majority of us were expecting it to be included on the third-generation iPad 3, but that's not the case.
A New York man named Frank M. Fazio isn't happy with Siri. He says that Apple has been "misleading" with its features set and has filed a class-action lawsuit, reports the WSJ...
