Apple is constantly refining the App Store experience, in order to showcase the best apps (App of the Week) or just show off the capabilities of a device by grouping the most interesting apps into a specific section.

It seems like Apple has just launched a new one, called “Get Stuff Done”, which groups the best productivity / business apps to get things done on the iPad. Lots of good apps are in there, and I think this is an interesting move from Apple to tell people that the iPad isn’t just meant for consuming media - but for producing content as well.

Check out the new section here.

If you read my Good Reader review last week, you should have noticed that I’m pretty satisfied with the app, even though it has some UI quirks and it surely can get a lot better. I know that the developers are working hard on improving the app, and I guess that an update addressed to fix the aforementioned problems is already on its way to the App Store.

Are there any alternatives to Good Reader though? Not so many, and most of them are very poorly executed applications that let you import documents and, in the best case, upload them somewhere on the internet. Can ReaddleDocs for iPad be any better than the others?

The Nintendo geek in me can’t help but be excited with stuff like this. I mean, the iPad running a SNES emulator and controlled via a Wiimote?

Just check out the video after the break and if you haven’t, you should consider a jailbreak now.

There’s no doubt that the ABC Player application for the iPad is one of the best pieces of software on the App Store right now: you can have hundreds of episodes of popular shows streamed to your iPad for free, with some advertising here and there and an overall good looking app. It works over 3G and Wifi, all the Lost seasons and episodes are in there: basically, it’s awesome. And it turns out that ABC itself is pretty happy with the results as well.

iGeneration has managed to get an image of Fnac’s RSS feeds, which report that the iPad Wifi 16GB will be available (at Fnac) at € 474,05. If you consider a 5% discount, the full price should be € 499,00 - just like many insiders have been saying for weeks now.

Apple still hasn’t confirmed anything about this, but you can bet that we’ll know more in a few hours, or later this week.

For MacStories’s usual “Something Must Be Wrong With Some People” series, today we’re very proud to present you the microwaved iPad, served hot in a 10 minutes Youtube video that is gonna make you want a last-gen microwave oven.

Not really.

But seriously, check out the video after the break. And remember: something must be wrong with some people. Next, a JooJoo.

A new version of the ABC app for iPad has just been approved by Apple, and it brings streaming over a 3G connection, something early adopters of an iPad Wifi + 3G have been demanding for a few days now.

You can go download the app for free here. The update also features many bug fixes, stability improvements and landscape support for all screens.

Dropbox has just updated its official iPhone client to include support for the iPad. It’s available for free here.The new version takes advantage of the iPad’s portrait and landscape modes to display your folders on the list, and also makes use of popovers in the main view to email and copy links and access your favorites. Also, it’s now possible to export documents to native iPad apps such as Keynote and Pages.

Keep on reading after the break for our impressions with the app.

If you tweet a lot every day, it’s likely that sometimes in the future you’ll want to have some sort of archive for your tweets - that kind of stuff that you show off to your grandsons to remember the good days. Ok, maybe not with tweets, but you get the hang of it. You tweet links, you use different applications, you want to have your own Library of Congress archive for the messages you once sent and now you’ve forgotten about.

If this idea has ever come to your mind and you would like to be able to see what exactly happened on January 27th, then TweetSheet is the app for you.
