No question, you’ll totally score more for your old handset by listing it on eBay or Craigslist than turning it over to AT&T, but wouldn’t it be nice to have the option if you’re really in a bind? According to Boy Genius Report, the aforesaid carrier is mulling the idea of implementing a trade-in program that would allow existing subscribers to put a “used value” towards the purchase of a new phone. While none of this has yet to be confirmed, we’re told that any phone traded in must be less than two years old and in relatively good shape, and the new phone you’re after won’t have any subsidies attached; your trade-in value is the discount. Oh, and regardless of how awesome that shiny new whatever is, the maximum value of any trade is capped at $200. We’ll keep an ear to the ground for more, but we wouldn’t be shocked at all to see this go live sooner rather than later.

MSI was showing off its latest Wind Box at the same pre-CeBIT press event Engadget Chinese caught the X-Slim X340 at, and man — looks like someone at MSI was studying up on the ASUS Eee Box. Nothing you don’t know about the internals here: 1.6GHz Atom N270, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, same as the other Wind Box — but it’s seriously tiny. No word on pricing or a US release date, but we’ll keep an ear to the ground. One more shot after the break.
