I'm developing an Android game with the idea of publishing it, and I wonder what info should I put in the "About" dialog that many main menus have.

The idea is to make bug report and debugging easier. Users can click in the "About" box and read the details of their device, and include them in any bug report they send me - I know Google sends relevant device data to the developer when there's a crash, but I'm thinking in bugs that not necessarily end with an abnormal program termination.

So far, I've added API number of device, screen size, screen density, and number of processors.

My current "About" screen is something like this:

Game title
Game icon
API version
Screen size
Screen density
Number of processors (just in case, because game uses threading)
Game version number
EDeveloper e-mail

If anyone has experience publishing and maintaining an app, specially in Android, I want to know what can I add there to make user reporting and debugging easier.
