Hey guys, I registered just to post this. I had the same thing happen. I thought I was going to have to restore as well, but I got it to work. The first time it happened, after the pineapple logo sat there for a while, I plugged it into my computer (not in DFU mode, I just left the pineapple logo there and plugged in) and magically the main screen popped up. Then the second time it happened, I just pressed the home button a couple times and it worked. You might want to try that out the next time it happens.

I have had some (not all for some reason) of my app store apps stop working randomly (I think after installing some cydia apps but I don't remember) and I had to reinstall those apps to get them working again. Don't know why it happened, but at least I didn't have to restore.
