I tend to think that if the mini-SD spec really did support 4GB non-SDHC, you would see them being produced by the major manufacturers and being sold by mainstream vendors.
AFAIK SD does NOT support 4gb non-HC in mini. I don't think that means that you can't fit 4gbs worth of memory in there, tho. I'm no expert, but if some mfr made a bunch of 4gb non-hc and got screwed because SD chose not to support it, I think we would have a bunch of no-name 4gb minisd cards on the ebay market.
