Bug Description
The Ubuntu One client for Ubuntu uses both "GB" (services description) and "GiB" (progress bar of usage at the top) as a unit of measurement. We should show the unit of measurement in one way and it should be consumer friendly. "GB" is what is most commonly used at retailers (amazon.com), computer manufacturers (dell.com, apple.com), and at disk manufacturers (wdc.com). Whether it has a space between the amount and the unit of measurement or not (some use a space and some don't), it should always be consistent.
