US versions will be available tomorrow, BUT you only get 1GB of RAM instead of the 2GB that I got with the INTL version and you only get a 1GHz Dual Core instead of the Quad Core Exynos in the INTL version. In my experience, I would not want anything slower than mine with the Quad Core, unles I was only taking notes. I stream videos and it works smoothly on my Quad Core, but I would make sure I purchase my US version some place that I can return it if the performance is subpar. The 1GB of RAM instead of 2GB will make a huge difference too. I don't know why manufacturers constantly shortchange the US version of gadgets. I will buy a US version for my wife and compare the performance with my INTL version. You certainly save some money, but it doesn't really matter if the performance sucks. Good Luck!
