Hold the phone! They have an app for that....... 'Group email'. Allows you to send to any number of recipients at once, with a variety of attachments, if you wish. Just use your groups in address book.

The cheapest and most direct way to create a distribution list in iOS it to add a new contact and paste several comma delimited email addresses into just a single email field for the contact. Sounds easy enough, but it does involve a lot of typing, making it much easier to create and maintain on a Mac, and then sync to your iOS device. The process is the same on both platforms, however:Create a new e-mail and manually add all recipients in the To: field. This is easier than typing in the addresses in full, since they should already be in your address book and will auto-complete. Select all of the e-mail addresses and copy them into a plain text editor. Delete all of the “Full Names” and <brackets>, leaving just the simple email@xxxxxxxxxx addresses, separated by commas (no spaces).Copy the entire list as a single line of text.Create a new contact and paste the entire list into one e-mail address entry for this new contact. Save the new contact. That contact is now effectively a distribution list. If you performed the above steps on your Mac, be sure to sync using MobileMe (if you’re a subscriber), Google or iTunes to get the new contact on each of your iOS devices. Now your distribution list is accessible to Mail app as well as any third-party app that has Mail access built-in. You may find that some third-party apps require the use of semi-colons or spaces instead of commas. To get around this, simply create a separate one line e-mail in your distribution list contact for each format. For example, you could comma separate the “Home” address, semi-colon the “Work” address, and use spaces for “Mobile.”
