Restarting springboard brings back deleted podcats?

I noticed that if you restart the springboard, the iPod will "bring back" the podcasts deleted off the phone and put it back on the list. It cant play them because they were deleted, I thought it was kinda weird.

Something weird happened when I tried to play a podcast I deleted earlier.
It started to play it, but then it got stuck and the lil play symbol and my alarm clock icon in the top right corner started flashing. When I pushed the home key it brought me back to the springboard, but those 2 symbols kept flashing.

I turned off the phone, waited 30 secs or so, turned it back on and it gave me the screen showing the ipod cable and the itunes symbol and "slide for emergency" in more then 1 language.

I plugged the phone into the computer, pulled up iTunes and on the iPhone screen it showed "phone is activated"

All my settings and everything are still there, what a weird experience.
