Hardware is dead
Hardware is dead; long live hardware.The free-fall in PC prices in the 90s "killed" the PC, except that every major PC manufacturer still sells high-end models, and retailers still make money on them.The free-fall in automotive prices in the 20s "killed" the automobile, except that people kept buying faster, sleeker, newer models anyway.Like so many other electronics and everyday devices, the commoditization of tablets won't "kill" the tablet. It will result in a glut of disposable, troublesome, irksome devices, but there will still be a very nice market of people willing to pay more for a better device. Go make money there, you'll be happier anyway.
