Start mobile browsers with webkit remote debugging ON

At Google I/O 2011: Chrome Dev Tools Reloaded, Paul Irish and Pavel Feldman introduced new remote debugging feature — which was in passing included into webkit.

--

This is great news, particularly for mobile web-developers. But how do we enable it, for example launching IOS simulator, or just running Safari Mobile on an iPhone? (for chrome this is traditionally done with --remote-debugging-port=9222 option while launching it).

I tried enabling developer mode in safari settings (Settings > Safari > Developer > Debug Console: ON) but without success...

I don't know about android here, but does anyone know when Apple (Safari Mobile) or Google (android's browser) will include this new feature so we can enjoy remote-debugging in mobile development?

Thank you.

Adobe's Shadow utility (which was just released) allows you to debug remotely using weinre without needing to inject any code into your web pages. It works with Chrome on Windows and Mac as the "master" browser and will sync every page navigation over to any number of devices running the iOS or Android client.

Note that weinre itself is somewhat limited. For example you won't have access to the Network tab.
