It's called differentiation. If you don't have it, you're in a commodity market (Android anythings). If you do have it, you're not in a commodity market and generally hardware gross margins hover around 50% (or more!).
If you won't innovate and differentiate, then yes, hardware is dead. You won't make any money these days making something someone else makes cheaply. _MAKE_SOMETHING_ELSE!
