Apple is reportedly testing a build of iOS 5 which includes Siri support for the iPhone 4, according to JailbreakNation.

Today, we have a very interesting bit of news, tipped to us by a source close to Apple. According to them, Apple is testing Siri on devices other than the iPhone 4S. The device specifically mentioned to us was the iPhone 4, but we can most likely assume that other devices are being tested as well. This means that we will potentially see a software update that allows Siri to run on older devices.

AppAdvice was able to confirm the source of this information and says that it does appear to be legitimate.

"The fact that they're considering it after the iPhone 4S release and even letting employees use it outside of the campus as a test drive shows that there still is a chance this will become a reality. Yet, Apple has now finished the test drive and removed the feature from the employees' iPhones to minimize the chances of it getting out."

Another source says the test went really well as far as performance; however, the microphone of the iPod Touch 4G is not as good as the iPhone which could be an issue.
