Limits are usually as the kit does not support a later file standard. FAT16 from the old dos days for example is limited to a 2GB file system (or 4GB if you use funky settings that not all systems can read).
This is with a file system access method, i.e. the kit sees the memory stick like it was some storage.
I think if you plug a phone in, like a N95, it acts like a mass storage device, which is a different type of connection to the kit, and the phone sees the storage, then presents it out so you overcome the limitation.
So probably a 8GB mem stick would not work where a 8GB phone would.
In theory...

well seems with a 2.5" external USB drive if formatted with a FAT32 filesystem, it works fine up to just below 32GB , global warming my ars...!!!
