Again - just sharing some knowledge. I didn't know you could "restart" your i-device. I always thought the on/off switch turned the device off (or as "off" as it can be for smart-covers to wake them up).
Apparently, it's not an on/off button. It's a sleep/wake button.
If you've got some apps that are crashing or won't run, don't blame the app immediately, sometimes, re-starting the device fixes the problem.

*Edit* Oh... implicit in those directions are "Then let go" i.e. hold until XXXXX then let go.

Restarting your device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
