Two of the most dominant trends in the personal cloud today include mobile, which has become a constant since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007, and cloud-based storage solutions, which ties in directly with the on-the-go audience seeking to access and sync files across devices.

The biggest news under the mobile category right now is an upcoming Google event in Hong-Kong scheduled for today, 10 A.M. Hong Kong time. This is based on a tweet from Japanese telco NTT Docomo, and speculations have it that Google may reveal the latest version of Android dubbed Ice-cream Sandwich. There is no official confirmation yet, but one expert believes that the publicity stunt adds up with the rumors.

“It’s exactly what Apple did when they came out with the iPad,” said Nick Farina, CTO at developer Meridian. “Google is doing the same, which I think is good.”

It’s not clear whether or not Sandwich will be announced, but there is a little catalog of devices (including a high-tech wristwatch for athletes) that will be demonstrated during the event. Among them is Motorola’s Driod RAZR, the thinnest LTE handset to date that packs a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. Despite of its small size the phonemaker claims that it’s just as durable as its competitors.

This is a big week in mobile, and the same can be said of the cloud storage and sharing market. The competition is high between countless smaller startups and services, as well as more popular names such as Dropbox and Box – both of which raised funding in the past seven days. Dropbox raised a massive $250 million yesterday from investors including   Benchmark Capital, Goldman Sachs, Accel Partners in a second round of funding. Last week, competitor Box received $81 million in funding, bringing the total venture capital the company raised so far to over $160 million.
