Cingular has started sending out emails to customers that have signed up to receive updates regarding the iPhone. Of note is the change from "Cingular" to "AT&T" at the top of the phone. <a href="http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/new-iphone-images-surface-features-added/9940" target="_blank">iLounge is reporting</a> that at least one picture in said email shows added features to the iPhone interface not demonstrated in the Macworld keynote. The feature, supposedly related to directions on Google Maps, was in fact mentioned during Steve Jobs' keynote, but was never demonstrated. Some may remember that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH2W9fp7MCI" target="_blank">a video was posted</a> a while back analyzing the keynote more closely. This video does in fact show the same picture of Google Maps that is seen in this image.

Of course, this isn't the first email sent out to prospective iPhone customers. Back in April, Apple sent out an email titled "Talk To You Soon" thanking customers for signing up to receive information about the iPhone.

Personally, I have not yet recieved anything from Cingular/AT&T, but the fact that emails are going out is certainly exciting.
