Expanding on what TheDave said, it's in Recovery Mode. You can try this to get it out of Recovery Mode:
Unplug the device from the USB cable if it's connected. Then hold down the sleep/wake button until it turns off. Let go of the button and then hold it down again until the Apple logo reappears. Let it go and the device may boot up.
This only works, of course, if your device was working properly previously. Otherwise, or if that doesn't get it back to normal operation, you'll need to to try to restore it:

If it won't restore, or if after the restore the iPhone misbehaves, then as Dave indicated it's suffered hardware damage and will need to be taken or sent to Apple. Even if it works now, it's very likely that it will fail in the future as the salt corrodes the device, so getting it replaced now is probably a wise idea since as it is you can't trust it.
Regards.

You may need to try this More than Once...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4
Note:
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success. -
I bought a used ipod touch and my computer recognizes the camera, but it doesn't show the ipod connected? The screen on the ipod shows the cord with an arrow pointing to itunes logo and thats it?
Then you have not entered Recovery Mode...
Try again... Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.

phone wont progress from icloud transfer
Hey there ddjild,
It sounds like you are restoring your previous phones backup to your new one, but the progress bar appears to be stuck. According to this article:
iOS: Apple logo with progress bar after updating or restoring from backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3681
the process can take from several minutes to an hour to complete. The amount of time depends on the number of files on the device and whether you're erasing, updating, or upgrading your iOS.
If the device has stil not finished the process, I would recommend resetting the device with the following article:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that does not get the phone booted back to the Lock Screen so you can get to your Home Screen, I would next try putting the device into recovery mode and attempting another restore from that backup:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I responded to install new software message and was asked to restart--I did that--went to lunch and when I returned my screen showed the message that said, "unable to complete update for unknown reason" or something to that regard-and asked me to restart. I tried to restart and now see the apple but the time scroll is in an unending loop and my computer will not boot.-I recently installed snow leopard in order to be able to sync my mobile me accounts--since then my computer runs hot. Not sure if that has anything to do with current issue.
You will need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the appropriate Combo Updater to return to the Snow Leopard version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -
I phone 4 screen just showing power cord and i tunes logo after doing an update
Tried to do an update on my Iphone 4. Now the only thing showing on my screen is a picture of the power cord and the I-tunes logo. I can't power it off or on. I have tried holding down both buttons but nothing happens.

Help my email messages do not appear in the right hand side. Just the headings but no text at all. On the left the preview shows but nothing on right.
Restart your iPad. If that doesn't work, reset it.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.
The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work. -
