Depends on your perspective. The initial beta test size is 10Gb.
They plan to raise that limit.
The references to small data sets I believe are used by Amazon in
comparison to S3 (simple storage service). The cost of SimpleDB is
10x for storing data versus S3. S3 is filesystem based storage and
SimpleDB is a hash table. The intent is that you store your large
datasets in S3 and store just the metadata or queryable attributes in
SimpleDB.

I've been off the team for three months now, so my information isn't
fresh, and in any event I can't say much more than what's in the
Amazon press release. I will note that everyone seems to understand
the right usage model - put your bulk data in S3 and indexable
metadata in SimpleDB.
I've seen a few blog entries stating disappointment that SimpleDB
doesn't have full text search capabilities, which completely
misunderstands the abstraction level that SimpleDB is working at.
One could build an appropriate full text search facility on top of
SimpleDB, with SimpleDB storing the inverted index. For any serious
use you'd want application-specific logic in your search anyhow,
so you're not missing much by not having it built-in.

This refers to the data (attributes/values) in a particular item.
You can have a large amount of data, total, in a domain (10 GB currently,
and much, much larger eventually), and you can also have your data
spread across multiple domains, though at the hassle of multiplexing
your own cross-domain queries.
