This is a crash and restart of the android runtime, without a crash and reboot of the underlying linux operating system kernel. The uptime refers to the underlying linux, so it is maintained across the framework restart.
The difference between a framework crash and restart vs. a kernel crash and reboot is not very apparent to the end user, since there's ...

He probably is talking about the Galaxy Tab. Most non-android-enthusiasts tend to refer to anything that runs on Android as "Droid." There are a number of Android tablets available right now, and as you saw Motorola is releasing a tablet at the beginning of 2011, but the only one available through Verizon is the Galaxy Tab so that's probably what he's ...

This may not be exactly what you are seeing, but I have seen situations where the "home"/launcher app will be garbage collected. The next time the phone returns to the home screen, it shows a loading screen as it restarts the launcher app.
Depending on the model of phone, ROM, and launcher you use, this initialization screen may be different, and it may ...
