802.11g probably won't be certified by the IEEE until 3rd quarter this 
year. At best since there should be more channels wihtin the band there 
should be more throughput, at worst you will get the same throughput as 
802.11b. I think that Apple is taking the lead in adopting 802.11g for 
their new WAP's (Airport). If you are concerned about compliance then 
you may want to stick with 802.11b but if you want to be cutting edge 
then by all means grab a 802.11g.
