OS? PalmOS? WinCE? I know it's under the "Status & Roadmap" but if you're going to compare...

Not quite sure why. Sources will be the same in Mac OS X.

If you are going to evaluate cross-platform toolkits, you will quickly want to know just how cross-platform each really is. So it does make sense to have this info readily available on that page, I think he is right there.
Even better, if supported platforms were more obviously recognizable from the frontpage directly. Now you have to guess from the download section. So clearly point that out, with OS logos/mascots as visual clue. My suggestion anyway.
Next release would be a good time for that.
List of supported platforms is a major selling point, that should make the headline, and emphasizing the native look&feel.
On that account only wx and qt are left as competitors, so that's worth bragging about.
