The "remote storage" category seems to be the new platform battle. Apps and their per-user storage are becoming more decoupled (which is a good thing) and people are going to be picking a place to consolidate their personal storage. Companies offering this type of service are adding features to differentiate and (probably) increase lockin.
Wherever users put their data, and whatever remote storage developers support with their apps, will become entrenched.
Some big players so far (?):
Dropbox
Box
SugarSync
Google Drive
Microsoft SkyDrive
Apple iCloud?
