The Samsung Galaxy Tab has a 1024×600 resolution. You can easily Google resolutions for other devices that have been announced and create AVDs with matching specs.

Configuration examples:

320dp: a typical phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc).
480dp: a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).
600dp: a 7” tablet (600x1024 mdpi).
720dp: a 10” tablet (720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc).
