But because you have asked for it, we have made available the ISO image that we use to burn all of this cool stuff onto CD.

Now that PowerShell has been upgraded to version 2.0, it is time for us to release an upgraded version of our well received iPhone app, iPowerShell. So what do we have in store for this version? Obviously, the first thing that we want to support are all of the new PowerShell cmdlets. Not only cmdlets, but About Help and Provider references as well.
