Well, no, not exactly.

The protocol for Siri's communication has been cracked.  That still tells us a 
lot.

Siri isn't really resident on your iPhone.  Your requests (raw audio) are sent 
to 
Apple's server.  (No wonder Siri is a bandwidth hog.)  The server sends back 
what 
it has been able to figure out.  (A fair volume of information itself.)  (Also, 
think 
about that: Apple has the full audio of every request you make of Siri.  And 
anything it can parse out of the audio.)

These guys have been able to figure out enough to a) get Siri talking to fake 
servers, and b) get a fake "Siri" to work on other devices.
