don't panic,
just push the home-button and the on/off button at the same time,
just untill your ipod goes off, than press the onn button again, and it will start normally

This only prolongs the white screen till the next time you push the power/sleep button and eventually you will need to reconect your iPod touch to iTunes. This is because of a program in the firmware that will set the iPod to the connect to iTunes screen that so graciously pops up when you activate it for the first time.
