Browserstack: Developer Tools for iPad?

I am using Browserstack to test some websites on the iPad. I just don't seem to get where the developer tools are within that emulator. Shouldn't there be Firebug Lite somewhere? Can someone point the dev tools out to me please?

To open Safari for debugging a simulator, follow the instructions above. If Safari Overview is not available, look for a "Search the Web" link at the bottom of the window. This also opens Safari.

As I posted here, Browserstack now appears to support Dev Tools, but only on physical devices (those with a blue mobile icon, below).

Browserstack launch

You activate the dev tools by clicking the button in the toolbar:

Launch iOS simulator from BrowserStack.

Once loaded, from the OSX menu bar, click Help > Mac Help.

In the open window type "Safari" in the search box.

Click "Safari Overview".

Click "Open Safari for me".

From the Safari menu bar, click Develop > iOS Simulator > (the iOS tab you want to inspect)

In the iOS simulator you can click the 'bookmarks' button (of the device) and firebug lite is available from there. It does not seem to load on the iPhone 5 that I am testing currently but may work for someone else.
