Okay, first off, Microsoft Life Skydrive already offers 25 gigabytes of free online storage for those who care to sign up. So naturally, my question is…

Who the heck uses up 25 gigabytes of free online storage???!!!

But that doesn’t seem to be stopping Microsoft from rolling out unlimited online storage as the next step for their Skydrive service. Maybe because it sounds darn good from a marketing perspective.

At any rate, the LiveSide blog hints that this will in fact be the next step for LiveDrive. Most likely, this will be launched in step with the upcoming Windows Phone 7.5 Mango edition. Quite sure that a phone that promises unlimited online storage access can up its pogi points a bit.

And if your Windows Phone 7 smartphone can allow you to resume your Xbox games by grabbing your game data from the cloud, then good for you.
