When iOS 5 was first introduced back in October 2011, it was evident to many that it contained a number of really useful features which quickly became the focus of the jailbreaking development community. The notification centre was one of these but the real feature that developers were chomping to get their teeth into was Siri and this came with iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S. It is the intelligent voice assistant that has been built in.

Siri is exclusive to the iPhone 4S hardware and due to the initial lack of a jailbreak for A5 powered devices running on iOS 5 it was difficult for developers to create and test any Siri based tweaks. The release of Absinthe has change all this. Absinthe provides an untethered jailbreak for all A5 devices which in turn has opened the gates for Siri enhancements.

One of the latest tweaks to use the functionality of Siri is called TweetLine. This is an AssistantExtensions plugin which provides Twitter integration through the registered Twitter account in the setting application. By activating Siri through the normal method and giving the spoken command �timeline�, the TweetLine tweak forces Siri to display the latest five tweets from your Twitter timeline. TweetLine has been built on the AssistantExtensions tweak which allows developers to quickly and efficiently develop enhancements for Siri.

TweetLine displays your last five tweets in plain text but usernames and any links are redundant. This tweak could prove useful if you want to quickly check your timeline but other than that there isn't much that it can do. TweetLine is available free of charge through the ModMyi repository and requires a Siri enabled device with a registered Twitter account. You also need to have a jailbroken iPhone 4S.
