There was also that instance where Siri was gated from the iPhone 4. It was later shown that it was possible to install the Siri interface on the iPhone 4 through a Jailbreak - the only thing that prevented full functionality was a device serial number embedded in the request to the Siri server.

Not even just iPhones - I ran Siri on a 3rd gen iPod Touch. Anything that could run iOS 5 could use Siri with a jailbreak.

iPhone 4 was first generation of iPhone to have a second microphone used for noise cancellation.

So whilst Siri could technically run on older devices the experience was unacceptably poor.

Siri! What a blast from the past. I wonder if there are people still using it nowadays, now that the novelty is long gone.
