This week the folks at Merrill Lynch - specifically analyst Scott Craig - have suggested that the iPhone may finally be on its way to official carrier support from T-Mobile. This suggestion comes in the form of a note written by Craig that said "speculation is heightening" that Deutsche Telecom (owners of T-Mobile) will announce a deal at next week's analyst's day - that being 12/6 and 12/7 of 2012.

The i.am+ accessory line has begun with a set of three iPhone covers that convert the device into a much more high-powered camera than the smartphone is on its own.

This was announced with great glee by will.i.am in London this week with a full-on music video showing tonight with none other than Britney Spears.

Chevrolet adds Siri to 2013 Spark; Previews next-gen MyLink
Siri is hitching a ride in the 2013 Chevrolet Spark and Sonic LZ and RS, with support for the voice control system in the MyLink infotainment systems; meanwhile, an all-new version will debut in the 2014 Impala.

It’s not the sole preserve of big-bucks Chevys, either, with the car company opting to debut the tech in its more affordable models.

SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: November 23, 2012
Some of us are still recovering from our food comas, but luckily the weekend is here so most of us can use that time for recouping (or chowing down on leftovers).

Of course, today is Black Friday, with Apple kicking off a Black Friday sale of its own and the NPD saying that sales today could be what pushes tablet shipments above notebook shipments.
