Does anyone know of a module that allows a website to have a coming soon / initial landing page where visitors can leave their email addresses and other information so that when the website opens up for business they can be notified / accounts be automatically created with the initial information?

I've used a module called "Splash" for this on a Drupal 6 site. Not available for 7.

Could you just create a new "contact" page/form, and make it your home page. (you could make that page the only page accessible to unanimous users).
I guess, you could also use a webForm.

Thanks everyone for giving me
Thanks everyone for giving me a few different options to choose from. They eventually inspired me to come up with the following solution:
1) I found a module similar to Splash called Front Page.
2) Email addresses entered would go to Ymlp.com (Your Mailing List Provider).
Other Drupal neophytes can use my simple solution as reference:

Sending email addresses to mail provider?
Frontpage is D7 only? Too bad. :(
I'd be interested in how you sent the email address to the mail list provider though.

No Front Page is for both D6

I was going to write a blog about how to get a simple coming soon / landing page set up using Drupal, but it's still not ready. For now though, how the email addresses get sent to the mail list provider is actually all done by Ymlp.com, which is why I decided to use it.
The whole setup takes about 15 minutes and requires no programming knowledge whatsoever, so if anyone needs help just let me know. I'll post a link here after I get my blog going...

How to Use LaunchRock with Drupal
For those that are interested, I finally wrote a blog post on how to use LaunchRock (the definitive solution for this type of task) with Drupal while setting it up for my new startup, Collectiboard.
You can see it live in action until 12/12/12 (when the site officially launches its beta) at http://collectiboard.com. Hopefully what I wrote is easy enough for everyone to follow:

ComingSoon Distro
I've released a distro with the basic functionality of launch rock using only Drupal based stuff (nothing third party). You can find it here: http://drupal.org/project/comingsoon. Love to hear any comments or feedback.
