Restore the AppStore Icon?

I deleted the AppStore icon on my Ipod Touch not long after I first got it. I know, it wasn't smart, but I was trying to simplify stuff and I figured I'd always be installing apps over the USB connection.

I didn't do anything special; I just tapped and held the icon until the "X" (delete) option came up, and then deleted it.

Does anyone know how to restore this icon without doing a full restore?

Well, now I'm really confused. I thought that's how I got rid of it, but I just tried and none of the other built-ins are deletable. I'm not sure what happened to it--I've checked every page of apps.

Note that I'm not running any kind of 3rd party unlocking software. This all happened within the normal Ipod functions.

Does anyone know how I can get it back?

Thanks for the help! I just figured it out and it was a little unusual, so I'll post what I did:

Settings > General > Restrictions (I have Restrictions enabled)

Once in Restrictions I toggled "Installing Apps" back to the On position. I'm not sure if I turned this off intentionally--it may have been an accidental tap at some point.

Doing this made the App Store icon reappear.
