To rain on iCloud's parade, Box.net is offering, for the next 60 days, 50gb of free cloud storage to all iOS users (upgrades to current users). I downloaded and signed up today. It seems to be a very Dropbox-esque site, but lacks some of the desktop integration that Dropbox does. Surprisingly, the Mac app is free while the Windows desktop client is a premium service. However I did see a workaround to this that involves adding box.net as a network location here and it is very easy and it works.
I can't comment too much on it as my wifi supplied by my hospital doesn't play nicely with cloud drives ("file-sharing" as the firewall calls it), but it's 50gb for free so you don't have much to lose to try it out...at least for iOS users.
