Why can't I use SIRI and dictation on my iPad2 with release 6.1?

Why is SIRI and dictation not available on Ipad2? I have the latest release of IOS 6.1.

The iPad 2 will never have Siri no matter how many more software updates Apple releases for it. The iPad 2 does not have the noise canceling chip needed in order for Siri to function which means the hardware lacks the capability of using Siri so it has nothing to do with software at all.
