Is that true in Android too?
In Windows, I'm pretty sure it is the other way round.
Restart doesn't completely shut down Windows, but shutdown does.

Sorry, but that's not correct. If you do a 'Shut down' the system will >>>only save the OS to 'disk', not the open applications.
I always thought the Windows OS was permanently on the 'disk' and thus
didn't need to be resaved at each shutdown.
I think it was something about the "kernel" that got retained when using >shutdown, and that changes that were made to it got erased when using >Restart.
Seems to me you could restart, in order to reset the kernel, and then >shutdown in order to turn the machine off.

An on screen keyboard. Size depends on the device size and design. I'm now
posting with an Amazon 10" tablet and the KB is about 2x5 inches.
