First, people like to toss around words like \'open\' and \'closed\', but what do they really mean? They don\'t mean anything; they are squishy, overloaded, marketing terms. Whether or not a camera is \'open\' or \'closed\' according to some subjective definition has no correlation to the value or quality of the product.
Second, one thing I can say about my iPhone: for a \'closed\' platform, it sure lets me do a ton of things that are much, much more difficult to do on my multi-thousand dollar DSLR.
