It works quite well on 2.1 (and on 2.0, but i'm not sure, i just tried
it on 2.1 with my nexus).

When you do a hprof-dump and have the proper plugins installed in
Eclipse, you get nice charts and graphs of your app's memory usage.

I'm not sure how it works, but i think the device dumps a proprietary
hprof format for Dalvik, which then gets automatically converted into
the 'standard' hprof format and then displayed as charts and graphs.
