Help Just lost my "Market" app

Android market has been renamed to "play shop" (it sounds very silly) . Try to check apps whether you see an app named "play shop" .that is the new market...

Oh jeez... Yup there is is, play store... You got it right. They must have changed yesterday, at least that's when I noticed it. Now it wants me to OK Google Play, Google music, google books and YouTube rentals...

Considering how Google has now changed their terms of service to track and merge any info from what I do & go, I'm not so sure I want to go along with this. I don't like being spied on if I do anything connected to Google.

Rats... Guess I'll be done with using it.

Any different way to find/buy aps using paypal?

Thanks

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Chose All
Find Market
Push on it and select Clear data

thread had been solved already besides the market isnt an app within the phone after it updates to the play store. the app becomes the play store
