This false equivalence is tiresome.

The inability to run a handful of hardware dependent features on iOS is not even in the same ballpark as the complete lack of timely updates for over 95% of Android users.

Hardware dependant? Siri was shown running on pre-4s devices (3g if I recall correctly) before apple bought them.

Not to Apple's standards apparently.

Siri has since been ported to older devices via jailbreaking. As I understand it, there are no performance issues.

However, I do agree that Google needs to sort the 'update problem'.

"As I understand it, there are no performance issues."

It's one thing to "work" in the hacking sense, and another to "work properly" in the Apple sense.

There's a difference between running and running as well as on the 4S. The demo of noise reduction is impressive. http://www.audience.com/demos/transmit-noise-en.php [audience.com] It's easy to see why with that noise reduction, Siri would be much more accurate than without it, in real scenarios.

Apple obviously wants Siri to be judged on it's best performance. They have a reputation for quality to maintain.
