Also it would be even more interesting to see how the Ovi Store compares to Extras in attracting end users. Having the same application on both platforms, which one will consumers download from?

I'd try just that. It's the ideal setting. This guy already got more money for his work than he'll probably ever earn from selling it in the Ovi Store. If anyone can afford to try and sell GPLed software, it's him.
If I'm correct (my knowledge of the GPL is shaky) there's also nothing stopping anyone else from packaging up an existing GPL application and selling it as long you also re-distribute the source.
