This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. Not manufactured anymore too.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Not manufactured anymore too.

The 40 GB PS3 cannot play PS2 games but it can play PS1 games. And the 40GB PS3 does not have the digital camera flash card slots.

The 40GB PS3 does have built in WiFi, Blu-Ray, Bluetooth, a Web browser and 4 USB ports.
---------------------------------------------------------

The 60GB PS3 has full backward compatibility with PS1 and PS2 games.

The 60GB PS3 has WiFi, digital camera flash card slots, 4 USB ports, a Web browser, Blu-Ray, and Bluetooth.

the only difference, is that the 40g has only 2 usb ports, and no flash card or memory card/stick readers. the 80g has 4 usb ports, and the card readers. also the 80g comes with motorstorm when you buy it right now
