While Siri works as expected and will answer your questions and inquiries, getting this all put together isn’t exactly for the impatient and it’s a somewhat lengthy procedure with a fair amount of setup required.

It’s also not without risk, as iDB tells us:</p> <blockquote><p>This could make your iPad kick into “iPhone mode” which makes your screen look funky, as everything is sized for iPhone. A quick respring should fix this, but you’ve been warned. I had no problems with it, but it’s worth noting</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/01/23/how-to-install-siri-on-ipad-2/">Read the full walkthrough on how to set it up at iDB</a> or check out their great video below to get an idea of what’s entailed in the process.</p> <p><iframe width="620" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/32FTOBy-68k?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>If you think it’s more trouble than it’s worth, there are <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ipad-3/">rumors that the iPad 3 may</a> include Siri as well, but that won’t be known for certain one way or another until <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/13/ipad-3-to-be-released-in-march-with-sharper-screen-quad-core-cpu-and-4g-lte/">around March</a>.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s__VJzsdskBvV90EI1pw6TUJDEM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s__VJzsdskBvV90EI1pw6TUJDEM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s__VJzsdskBvV90EI1pw6TUJDEM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s__VJzsdskBvV90EI1pw6TUJDEM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=4QzBXqbLr-k:uo6RWCWoZV0:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/4QzBXqbLr-k" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
