If there will be an award this year for the netbook with the most number of clones worldwide, the MSI Wind will definitely win that award without any objection. Latest information from Cloudbook UMPC showed that there are already 18 MSI Wind clones released so far, including the MSI Worldwide version. And as Liliputing noted, a Wikipedia entry listed 17 clones, but those data may not be updated yet that why it doesn’t tally with the Cloudbook UMPC list.
Each of these MSI Clones sport different names on each of the country. And so far, the most popular of them is the Medion Akoya Mini which was released in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France and Ireland.
Here’s the complete list of the MSI Wind OEM’s as compiled by Cloudbook UMPC:
- MSI Wind U100 (Worldwide)
- RoverBook Neo U100 (Russia)
- Advent 4211 (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Swiss, U.K.)
- Medion Akoya Mini (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands)
- MyBook M11 ( Denmark)
- Mivvy M310 (Czech Republic)
- Tsunami Moover T10 (Portugal)
- Casper Minibook (Turkey)
- Datron Mobee N011 (Turkey)
- Proline U100 UMPC (South Africa)
- CMS ICBook M1 (Vietnam)
- HCL MiLeap MH 04 (India)
- Axioo Pico (Singapore, Indonesia)
- Averatec Netbook (U.S.)
- Mouse LuvBook U100 (Japan)
- Portatil Beep Iridium U10 (Spain)
- Ahtec LUG N011 (Belgium, Netherlands, Spain)
- Sylvania MAGNI Netbook (U.S.)
Those are definitely a lot of numbers for such a netbook which is just the second most popular netbook next to the Eee PC.

That’s funny. It was 13 when I wrote my article. Looks like someone edited Wikipedia this afternoon and added the two extra netbooks noted by Laptop Mag plus a few others mentioned in the comments of my post.
I wonder how many more will be listed by tomorrow.
Yeah, it was 13 when I read your post. They must have read your article and immediately edited the Wikipedia entry. =)
I have updated the list of rebranded MSI Winds to 23. :)
