Box.net giving away 50 gigs to iOS users (box.net)

It looks like the blog is getting hammered right now. But 3 notes: 1)the limit of 100 mb per file is a weak way of limiting the promotion. 2)a lot of people are gonna be pissed of that you don't get it unless you install and create your account after midnight. 3)finally this is a shot across the bow of dropbox. 50gb for life for free is a big deal even with the file size crippling.


Seeing how Google is going to launch Google Drive soon, and will possibly be integrated with Android 4.0, shouldn't Box.net offer that to Android users as well? Or are they going to completely cede the market to Google?
