Siri Ported To The Original iPad, Does Not Work Properly Just Yet

After Siri was successfully brought to the iPhone 4, now another talented developer managed to introduce Siri to a larger home, a jailbroken iPad 1.

Unfortunately, just like in the iPhone 4 case, Siri does not feel quite at home on the iPad for now. The voice-guided software launches, but it does not respond back when you talk to it, as it needs to communicate with the Apple's servers to get its lines and that has not been enabled yet.
Still, you can rest assured that hard-working developers are working on it and that usually leads to a happy ending. Or at least for those that have jailbroken iOS devices.
