isn't this a play by Google to gain more control over their stock
I think it is more about the founders 'retaining' control of the company. The founders still own a majority of the stock shares, but it was being diluted every time they offered stock incentives for mergers and acquisitions. So they created non-voting shares that they can now offer instead.

I highly doubt that the lower cost stock pays out the same dividend
Google has never paid a cash dividend. This is from their investor FAQ...

No, we have never declared or paid a cash dividend nor do we expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Just heard an analyst on CNBC talk about it... The founders own Class B shares which are controlling interest shares... They currently have Class C shares out there which are actively traded with some ownership rights... This new stock is a non controlling interest share and Google is going to use it as a means to reward employees/bonus, but not give them voting rights.

Google types of shares....
Class A shares (was GOOG, is now GOOGL) - Has voting rights; 1 vote per share. This is what we owned yesterday. Anyone who owned a share yesterday at close of business will retain that Class A share and will also receive 1 Class C share for every Class A share they had.
Class B shares - most of these are owned by the google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. These shares have 10 votes for each share. You can't buy these.
Class C shares (now GOOG) - new non-voting share. This share took the GOOG symbol and this is what Google with use primarily for employee compensation and acquisitions in the future.

GOOG is better to own because it will trade at a discount to GOOGL because it has no voting rights. The voting right you get with the GOOGL shares are worthless bc the two head honchos control over 57% of the voting rights. Basically you pay extra for GOOGL shares with worthless voting rights.
