hardware - physical device used for computing which you can touch and feel. example - monitor, mouse, keyboard, ipod
software - a program that is coded to work a particular way. You can install software and use it. It is not an entity. example - windows XP, Linux, Winzip, yahoo messenger etc.
Many software comes free of cost. Hardware must be bought and never comes free.

If you are refering to computers, hardware is any device that is part of your computer system, i.e. harddrive, printer, screen, etc. Software is the programs that enable your system to run and the games or items that you use on your computer.
