SiriToggles allows you to open apps and change system settings, while AssistantExtensions offers a plug-in architecture allowing developers to extend Siri functionality (command and GUI snippets). This week we were given yet another fun Siri tweak in Cydia, and it just may be the best one yet.

A trio of iOS developers: Grant Paul (Chpwn), Ryan Petrich, and Steven Troughton-Smith have recently released a new Siri port called Spire. This port mirrors all the iPhone 4S Siri functionality and works on the following iDevices: iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad (first generation).

This was a result of these ports [...]
