Is there any 7" tablet that support Android Market and ideally support custom ROMs? Basically I'm looking for a device similar to the Nook Tablet, but without the closed and limiting software implementation:

- 7 inch IPS panel screen with 1024px wide resolution
- CPU/GPU/RAM combo that provides similar performance to the NT, specifically with regards to video playback, browser rendering speed and application switching and launching
- Built in mic
- Support memory cards (ideally SD). Larger than 8GB internal memory would be nice, but is not a must.
- Wifi, BT
- HDMI out
- Physical power and volume buttons; preferably additional customizable physical buttons
- Battery life and weight similar or better than Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire
- Nice to have: Comes with stylus, without compromising finger touch operation (i.e. capacitive, not resistive touchpad)

Price: Up to $300

Any such product available?
