There are more raw pictures up now, including some taken in Saturn-light. JPL's site seems to be swamped or otherwise on the fritz at the moment; the Planetary Society site has some pseudo-color composites. (http://planetary.org/news/2005/cassini_iapetus_firstimages_0101.html)
The images I used on Friday included true RGB separations, so I experimented with making a visible-light color photo, only to discover that in visible light Iapetus doesn't have any color to speak of. It would basically look like my black-and-white picture.
I put a full-scale version online at Wikipedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Iapetus_mosaic.jpg), linked from the article on Iapetus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iapetus_%28moon%29).
But other people beat me to producing color versions, such as the IR/green/UV one that Jens refers to here (http://shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6336).
