To Be Clear, Siri Is Not Coming To The iPhone 4 Or iPad 2 (Update)
Posted by TechCrunch
It’s understandable why you might have been confused. Apple made Siri’s expansion about as clear as mud yesterday at Apple’s WWDC keynote.
She learns more, moves to the iPad, gets all kinds of new integrations in iOS 6 (which most certainly will come to your iPhone 4/3GS), but does she actually hop on over to the new hardware and chat at you like the condescending connectivity-challenged genius that she is?
In short, no.
Officially, Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S and the new iPad (third generation). You can see for yourself in the Keynote video at the 81:15 mark.

But where do all these founders, designers, and developers spend their early days?
While renting a “real” office is out of the question for even those who land funding thanks to high price of real estate in the area, many startups set up shop in much cheaper caf�s or co-working spaces. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of our favorite spaces to w[...]
