As promised, today marked the first time that eager would-be iPhone 4 owners could get their mitts on the handset of their dreams--provided that handset was a black iPhone 4.
Mac|Life has scoured the web to bring you images and video of some of the finer points from the international launch events. While photos and video of the events still seems to be a little scarce, we've been able to wrangle up a few tidbits for you to feast your eyes on.

Turning our attention to the far east, Hong Kong's launch day festivities kicked off at midnight and had it going on, with live entertainment, McDonalds and mineral water for those waiting in line.

Meanwhile, in New Zealand, things were not as rosey as they seemed the around the rest of the globe.
