Android Virtual Device Configuration for a 7 inch tablet in Android SDK 2.3.3

Question

I want to create a Android Virtual device that resembles a 7 inch tablet running Android version 2.3.3. There is nothing similar to that available in the SDK and when I try various combinations in the AVD settings it doesnt work out. I am using LCD Pixel Height and Width of 1024 X 600.

How can I create a virtual device that resembles a 7 inch tablet in the landscape mode. Any help is greatly appreciated...

A great example of doing this can be found in the Amazon Kindle Fire FAQ:

We also recommend that you test your app on your own and submit an update if you discover any problems. It is possible to configure a standard Android emulator to simulate the Kindle Fire device platform. You should configure your emulator with the following characteristics:

• Width: 600px
• Height: 1024px
• Abstracted LCD Density: 169
• Target: Android 2.3.4 - API Level 10
• RAM: 512 MB
