Earlier covered, Speaktoit virtual Assistant for Android is now available for iOS devices, thus providing the Non-iPhone 4S owners an opportunity to try out a Siri like efficient service. Besides being a Siri alternative, Speaktoit offers newer capabilities and supports all iPhones, iPod touch and iPad running iOS 4.0 or later.

Speaktoit Assistant is a virtual buddy for your iPhone or iPod that uses natural language technology to answer questions, find information, and connect you with various web services, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Evernote, and many others.

The Assistant works with your device to get maps, search for news and images, look up weather reports, convert currency and measurements, send email, and much more.

No need to memorize special commands or complex interfaces – simply speak or type in everyday language and the Assistant will understand and respond with what you need.

How Speaktoit is different than Siri

- Works on older iPhones, not just 4S.

- Lets you customize your avatar, so you’re not talking to a faceless circle.

- Can search maps outside the US

- Update your Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare

- It adds new functionality often (Siri hasn’t updated since launching).

- Speaktoit speaks what it says (for example, if you search for weather, this is the difference: Speaktoit: “It is 70 degrees in London” vs Siri: “Here is the weather.")

Speaktoit is still free for Android but the iOS version of the same is available for $1.99 on the App Store. However, you’ve the chance to get it free as the developers are offering it for Free to the first 100,000 people on Valentine’s Day. Grab you free copy now!

This does NOT affect your warranty status, because this is an official iPhone unlock.

How it works -

1) When you pay for this auction, include your iPhone’s IMEI number.  You can get this number from the phone by dialing *#06# please do not get the IMEI number from the box.

2) We will submit your phone’s IMEI# to Apple’s database, and your phone will be unlocked

3) Once unlock is complete, we will notify you.  All you have to do then is, connect your iPhone with an unauthorized Sim Card to iTunes.  This will then unlock your phone

Some tweets from @CutYourSim twitter account:

After service is ordered, your IMEI will be placed on Apple’s IMEI "whitelist" so it will be unlocked after syncing.

@yucatans any iphone, any carrier, any software/bb version can be unlocked with our service

@javrojqu This is 100% real, service went live today

@iMaycon Thx for your interest, unfortunately it’s $169.99 for everyone

@iquanyin The IMEI gets added to Apple’s IMEI database, and will be "whitelisted" and forever unlocked.

@JCTERRERO We do not process these, our distributor does. We are just their reseller. thx

@zonkered it is legit indeed we will work on getting proof in the next day or two, stay tuned.

Disclaimer: We cant assure you if this works or not. Please confirm before proceeding.
