I have an iPad and I am wondering if I can remote debug it from the desktop using Webkit Inspector? As I understand it, it requires you to launch the browser with a command line switch. I do not think that's possible to do in iPad, but I may be wrong.
What about iPad2? Or Android powered tablets?

To enable Web Inspector on iOSOpen the Settings app. Tap Safari. Scroll down and select Advanced. Switch Web Inspector to ON.
Use Web Inspector to debug mobile Safari On your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, tap Settings | Safari | Advanced and toggle on Web Inspector. And enable JavaScript if it isn't already enabled.
Apple provides a very intuitive feature that enables web developers to debug and inspect web elements on actual iPads and iPhones. One just needs to connect their iPhone and enable the Web Inspector to get started. Note: This feature only works on the actual Apple Mac and not on Safari running on Windows.

Here's an excerpt:
It's a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone.
If you aren't familiar with FireBug or Web Inspector, weinre isn't going to make too much sense to you. weinre reuses the user interface code from the Web Inspector project at WebKit, so if you've used Safari's Web Inspector or Chrome's Developer Tools, weinre will be very familiar.
