iPad & Siri

Can anyone tell me if Siri will be on the iPad 2 with the release of Siri?


I think I remember something about people hacking iPhone 4 to get Siri on it when it was first released and Apple were like 'it needs the more powerful A5 CPU to run properly' and the iPad 2 does have the A5 so does that mean it'll get it in iOS 6??

iPad 2, iOS 5.1, WiFi + 3G

I think the other reason that iPad 2 won't be getting Siri is that both the 4S and 3rd Gen iPad have the new-ish microphone that helps with picking out structured sentences over background noise, which is why Siri tends to work even if you're in a large crowd, could contribute somewhat to the processors in them, but I'm not much of a hardware guy, so I could be completely wrong, haha

I completely understand that with iOS 6 it will only work on the two devices. What has sparked this whole 'off topic' path of my original question is that I am ****** because I feel that my iPad is very capable of running Siri.


You have (unlike the others) offered a reasonable explanantion as to why maybe Apple are exluding Siri from iPad 2, that's the microphone bit 🙂
