Most products try to fill the gaps between two other products. It's OK, it just can't go on forever as the gaps become smaller.

The troubling part is how the tech blogs over-hyped the whole thing.

Constraints exists and creative thinking inside the box is actually what matters.

Thinking outside the box is highly overrated: constraints exists in probably 99.9% of everything we do, whether we like it or not. This makes thinking outside the box very difficult, if not impossible, in most situations.

Creative thinking inside the box (the constraints) is essential and to me, a more important skill than thinking outside the box.
