iPad stuck on the unable to download app message

Usually I'm able to get out of the message by clicking done or retry. But now it's stuck on that message. I can't use the screen. I can't reset it because it won't let me click on anything other than the done or retry buttons. What should I do?

iPad 2, iOS 5.1

I have the same problem. You can't turn it off, thats what the previous user meant by reset. Synching with itunes does not correct the problem. It will 3 or 4 days for the battery to run out. This is pretty unreasonable. There should be a way to shut it down.
