'View Source' on mobile browsers

I just realized today that I've never personally used a single mobile browser that had 'view source' functionality--or for that matter, any kind of web developer tools whatsoever.

Anyone have thoughts on why this is? Does the mobile world somehow get around the law of View Source? Or is that lack of developer tools something holding the industry back? -m

I shudder to think what the experience would be like looking at the source of most pages on my RAZR. It actually wouldn't be that useful anyway, because I use Opera Mini which uses proxy servers that clean up the content before sending it to my device.

In the other hand, it wouldn't be all that bad on my iPaq. I wonder if the Minimo folks have ever considered a view source feature?
