Siri0us app which emulated Siri on iOS devices removed from Cydia app store

We have recently seen many interesting Siri based apps which have a great potential for revolutionizing iOS and mobile computing. One of them called Siri0us was released only a couple of days ago, but it seems that it wasn’t meant to last. Siri0us was about enabling Siri dictation on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, and while not as great as Siri itself it was an interesting addition especially as it helped with voice based Search and Note apps. Since it didn’t had access to official Siri servers, it had to relay completely on Nuance API. The problem was that Nuance didn’t authorize the use of their software for these purposes. And to avoid further confrontation and possible lawsuits, Eric Dean, the developer of Siri0us has decided to pull out this app from Cydia altogether.
