Thanks to this morning’s live tweeting of an Apple announcement event in San Francisco by Don MacAskill, it looks Apple will be release iPhone 2.1 software update on Friday.

Studio is more suited to the former versus the later, other VMware tools like Lab Manager and Stage Manager have library functionality built into them which are better suited for hosting an enterprise VM library.
VMware Studio is available as a free download from the above link.
