G stands for 'generation'. Different models, I believe.

Well, when it comes to iPhones, it gets pretty confusing. iPods are known as 2G, 3G, and 4G because of their generation in the time line, just as Elektrisk said. For example, the first iPods were the 1G (first generation, but we simply call them "iPods") and the current ones are the 6G (6th generation, or iPod 6G). When it comes to iPhones, the "G" still refers to "generation" but not the generation of the phone, rather the generation of it's telecommunications standards. Currently, or at least for most networks, the main telecommunication standard is 3G. I believe sprint runs 4G, but AT&T will be crossing over very soon.
If you really wanted to get technical with it, the most current iPhone generation is the 3G, but we call it 3GS because if it utilizes 3rd generation telecommunication standards. If you just try to wrap your head around it, I promise it will make sense.
I hope I didn't confuse most of you.
