It's been rumored that Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) might be releasing a version of its Nexus 7 tablet for a rock-bottom price of $149 -- $10 below what Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) charges for its Kindle Fire tablet.

In this video, Motley Fool contributor Steve Heller discusses what the prospect of a $149 Nexus 7 tablet could mean for Google investors and what to keep an eye on going forward.
