Remote debugging allows us to execute and capture code in remote devices, providing a way to inspect HTML, CSS and JavaScript and make live changes. In terms of mobile, this means a way for us to communicate with mobile devices so we can debug code on them directly rather than just relying on emulators.
The landscape for remote debugging your apps on mobile is quite strong at the moment.
Chrome for Android supports remote debugging via USB and allows you to debug using the Chrome Developer Tools. (See: https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/debugging and Chrome for Android Remote Debugging for +Boris Smus's video walkthrough)
Opera has had support for remote debugging since 2008 and Dragonfly can remotely connect to Opera Mobile. (Tut: http://www.codegeek.net/blog/2012/mobile-debugging-with-opera-dragonfly/)
