iPhone OS 3.1 App Store Glitch

Hi,
After upgrading to the new iPhone OS 3.1, I am having problems with the App Store, specifically in the "Categories" tab. Instead of the usual headers such as "Games", "Utilities", etc. they all become "Category" with the Skype icon.

Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
I have already tried restarting and restoring, but that didn't work.

Help anyone?

Sorry guys i thought the solution provided to change the region usa and back to canada will resolve the issue infact it did but when i installed the application that unwanted skype icons came back to my category area. very frustrating.

Hi,

I had the exact same problem and I logged in and logged out 3 or 4 times and I don't know how but it solved everything. The categories were back with their and their icons. They were even sorted in alpabetical order. I checked this morning and now the categories are not in alphabetical order anymore... Weird, but at least I still can see their names and icons! I hope they will not screw up again!

Just check my categories on my iphone, all back to normal. They were all skype (which I dont have) but as of this morning its looks good.... so far. I didn't do anything but wait a few days.
Hope others have similar luck & this issue has been resolved.

It's actually the app store icon for their Social Networking category, not Skype.
