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.

Could it be what Siri on the Apple TV will look like? I certainly hope not, but it's pretty fun to watch nonetheless.

Last week was one of the most awesome weeks for jailbreak apps and tweaks in recent memory. Tweaks like the highly anticipated 'Deck', and 'Notificator' were previewed, along with a neat tweak that gives Siri different accents. We even tossed in a side order of AirPlay Mirroring on the Mac.

SiriCorrectInfinity is a free jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that allows you to make text edits to Siri queries not once, but an infinite amount of times.

"Good evening, Dave."
Yes, the inevitable has finally happened, we're just curious why it took so long.

This is a dream come true for sports fans, even if you don't like the NBA. The fact that someone has finally created an addon for AssistantExtensions to allow Siri to query sports scores is a win for sports fans of every type.

It's called SiriNBA, and it's the very first jailbreak tweak of its type. Check inside for our hands-on video...
