    Help Market app has gone missing

    Went to add an app to my Epic 4G Touch this a.m. and my Market app is now gone. WTFudge?! Could this have to do with the Google rebranding to Google Play somehow? Doesn't seem like that should affect my phone like this. More importantly: how do I get it back? Anyone know?
