Android - About box in application manager?

Question

I was wondering does anyone know how to give an Android application an about box in the application manager?

So when a user goes to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clicks on an app there is an About box there that the user can click and info about the app pops up.

Like the images below?

I think it's an HTC rom only feature and you can't create it for your own applications.

Unless it's new in 2.x then I didn't even know it's there.

Nope it's something HTC seems to have added. – hackbod Feb 09 '10 at 03:27
Thanks, was thinking that, its a good idea, maybe something for the next update? – Donal Rafferty Feb 09 '10 at 09:05

I think so too. It's nice to be able to show you applications/company's information in a centralized place. – MrSnowflake Feb 09 '10 at 14:49
Is there anywhere I can recommend this officially for the next Android release? – Donal Rafferty Feb 12 '10 at 16:23
