Ipod 5th Generation - Post IoS update No Siri

Question

Hello, I have only seen one post on here and it was regarding a 4th generation ipod and Siri. I was really excited to see the new update and was hoping to get Siri for my ipod touch 5th g but it didnt come on my ipod? Can someone tell me if there is a way to find out what happened? or how i can install it? or some help please? In my ipod it says my Model is: MD057LL 5th gen. correct? Esp. since i got it for xmas just a few months ago.
Thanks so much!

@cliftonfromrichmond - Dood they did rip me off and heres why - when the new iOS came on my screen *to install* it said it would be installing siri and guess what - it didnt! So ya i feel a bit cheated! No matter im going to get the new one for xmas anyways just thought its a lame thing for apple to do! But ya thanks sooo much for your sarcasm! *inserts sarcasm right back atcha!
@krehetin - yep sounds like were both in the same boat =S fortunatly i guess at least i know now thanks to illaass and ya guess well have to get the new one to get siri! Its no wonder the white 4g's were reduced down to 189.00 last xmas >_<" had i known i would have waited!
I got a new flash for ya:  No where before, during, or after the upgrade did the installer application display any message stating that Siri would be installed on your device.  I know this because I upgraded my 4th gen iPod Touch and my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.
And FYI, I was not being sarcastic, I was telling you the honest unvarnished truth.  There have been hundreds, if not thousands of people just like you who for one reason or another were either misinformed, or mistakenly believed that Siri would be installed on any device that could be upgraded to iOS 6.
What troubles me the most about this whole situation is that Apple included numerous disclaimers to the contrary in all of its announcements concerning iOS 6, and yet when members of this community pointed out those disclaimers, we were called liars or told that the disclaimers were in error.
If you care to take the time, look back through the community archives and search for messages regarding the confusion surrounding the release of the white 4th generation Touch.  Everyone (and this included several vendors) thought these devices were 5th generation iPods, when in fact they were just 4th gens with a white bezel. Apparently this was a repeat of a previous fiasco regarding the 8 gig "3rg gen" Touch (Which by the way was actually a 2nd gen being sold as a 3rg gen.).
Sadly, neither Apple nor the myriad Apple centric web sites, blogs, or main stream media outlets did anything to correct that situation, speculation and rumors ran rampant, and as we have all seen it snowballed and got out of control.
Unfortunately you and others like you are all victims of that hype.
With that being said, I would highly recommend that instead of believing every Tom, Dick, and Harry that uploads to You Tube, or posts their mindless drivel to the blog-o-sphere,  do your own research. Educate yourself.  Find out what goes into making the technology that we love to hate do the wondrous things we take for granted. Hopefully, with a little understanding, you won't get caught up in all of the hype and be carried along with the ignorant mob again.
