NephoScale: locations in San Jose and Richmond (parent company is Silicon Valley Hosting who have been around since the mid 90's). Several of Nephoscale's developers came from GoGrid which is another 'iwStack' like cloud provider.
If you're asking about an Iaas provider in the US with iwStack like pricing, then no. Nephoscale is reasonably priced but much more expensive then iwStack. GoGrid is priced for the enterprise customers it serves (i.e. expect to pay 10X more than you would at iwStack).

iwstack are in US?
Linode isn't a true cloud. Storage is local afaik.
Can still be 'cloud' with localized storage. That's how AppLogic by 3tera works. http://www.ca.com/us/cloud-platform.aspx
Don't need some big clunky network attached storage units to be considered a cloud, I don't think. I think what Linode offers would constitute a cloud in terms of features, but it's up to debate considering 'cloud' is such a loosely defined term anyway.
Also, I had no idea IWStack wasn't in the US. I previously always thought they had a US location. Today I learned.
Correct me if I'm wrong but AppLogic uses a virtual SAN that duplicates data across physical hosts, sort of like OnApp's SANity product. Linode's usage of cloud is comparable to DO and Vultr, albeit with more features and reliability.
iwStack strikes me as a "true cloud". High availability being a key factor. Perhaps the OP could clarify if they need HA or not.

I'd say HostVirtual (vr.org) as a pretty good alternative for iwStack. Love those guys and the work they do. I used to have a few of my VMs on their network, some pretty great stuff came with it.
If I recall it's true cloud (don't recall which stack they use though) with a custom panel based off of Xen virtualization.

Correct me if i'm wrong as I noticed they is on the incero Dallas for their US location?

I've seen someone mention AppLogic and the problem with this product is the licensing and hardware cost to run.
The CEO of Innoscale (BirdHosting and Cloudweb) is a close personal friend and they've always done this type of Cloud, failover wise it works really well it just isn't "cheap".
