A closed operating system is that does not allow you to have root access to the file system (ex. delete files or change files related to the graphical interface or how your computer does things)An example of this type of operating would be iOS which runs on iPod touches, iPhones, Apple TV, and iPad. An open operating system is the exact opposite of a closed operating system and is how all operating systems on a computer work which includes Mac OSX, Windows 7,XP, Vista, and Linux.

Open Source Compared to Closed Source When Considering Android Tablets?

Android tablets contain an open source operating system that allows many hardware manufacturers such as Samsung, Asus, and Archos to easily produce an Android-based operating system device. This operating system is viewed as the best alternative when compared to the Apple's operating system which is not open sourced. Both hardware and software, using the Apple operating system, is close sourced making it proprietary and hard to market in this aspect. Android tablets, on the other hand, are seen with great diversity offering many different features depending on the manufacturer.
