I am a proud 4s owner, but this is something that I do hate about apple, denying software usage on their devices, even if capable of working it properly
Their walled garden of software is the only thing that stops me from jumping in to using apple as all my main devices - if the hardware is capable, how come I can't use it,,, never have that kind of issue with other manufacturers -- I would 100% understand if there was some logic chip or something that only made siri capable on the 4s,, but when it is only a software lock, it gets a bit ridiculous,, I'm not saying to give it away for free,, even 50 dollars sounds reasonable given how useful the app can be
there are so many other apps that do wonders with apple hardware but the only way to use them is to jailbreak the device,, something I'm not crazy about - I'd love to use xbmc or have my dock connector double as a SD reader,, why can't they make it work without unlocking,, heck I would even PAY to use the open source XBMC on my device I love it so much.
