I was able to test a Google APIs (MapActivity, etc.) using app by copying the system.img from android-sdk\windows\add-ons \addon_google_apis_google_inc_8\images to android-sdk\windows\add-ons \addon_galaxy_tab_samsung_electronics_8\images , overwriting the one that was there, and then creating a new AVD. Obviously this is a Frankenstein and not the exact add-on as provided, but at least it still had the resolution and skin of the Galaxy Tab add-on.
I'm seeing about 150 Galaxy Tab sessions for this app in my metrics, so I assume the real thing can run Google APIs apps. Although I suppose there could be development or hacked Galaxy Tab devices out there that are more capable than production models, or devices lying and saying they are Galaxy Tab devices, heh.
