Android Question Galaxy Tab S emulator

I trying to write an app for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5" and I don't have the device.
I just upgraded to v4.0 of B4A and can't get the debugger to connect to the emulator.
I modified the Google Nexus 10 (2560x1600) to create my AVD and set the sdk to android v4.0.
When I set "Skin with dynamic hardware controls" I get a skin but no connection or app, but when I set the emulator to skin WQVGA400 I connect to the emulator and can run my app but the scale etc. are unusable.
I'm writing the app for a friend and don't want to spend $499.00 on a device so I can give away the app.

Any help will be appreciated.

Charles .. have you looked at Genymotion, (depending on your pc specs) a much quicker alternative to the default AVD

I've heard the name but don't know anything about it. I'm running an AMD FX6300 with 8gigs of ram and 1.25TB of disk space. I have virtualbox setup on ubuntu 12.04 host with both Windows XP and Windows 7 guests. Of course I have B4A running in both the windows guest os. Would my environment be workable for genymotion?

I'm baffled. I have virtualbox installed in ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 running as a virtual machine. Do I install genymotion while in the windows 7 virtual machine or install it in ubuntu in a virtual machine of it's own.

I tried installing in in my windows vm and it wanted to install another vm to run in. (???)
