The "i" denotes a conversion factor of 1024, which leads to smaller numbers. However, omitting the "i" when using 1024 is also very common. The wikipedia article you linked has a little bit further down the following passage: "This means that a 300 GB (279 GiB) hard disk might be indicated variously as "300 GB", "279 GB" or "279 GiB", depending on the operating system."
