Hello, I'm developing a web application for mobile browsers. Right now most of development is done on local machines (with local apache) and I'd like to test how it behaves in low bandwidth and even high latency environments. I don't need to use apache as there is little server side things for the moment. Do you know any good tool?

You may want to give Sloppy a try.

I found this very easy to use (if compared to Fiddler, that gives a lot of options, but lack some config on the bandwidth thing)

I usually just install Fiddler on the client and run the site whilst running Fiddler. It can simulate 56K speeds and it can also keep track of how much data has been received so you can check exactly how much bandwidth your site uses.

If you're using Firefox, you could install Firebug and install Yahoo!'s YSlow addon. This adds an additional tab to Firebug which points out bandwidth bottlenecks for the currently loaded page.

Err unfortunately not. This is Webkit stuff :) no firebug then.
