In fact yes. At least for stuff I do I consider it necessary to test almost all eventualities when it comes to online/offline behavior. This makes me have to switch between airplane and online a lot of times, and it is simply a matter of time. So I built this to avoid having to toggle on/off airplane mode all the time.
Yes, and it's unfortunately not caught in a reproducible ( does that word exist? ) manner by the existing tools like the connection conditioner. I'll look into it, I thought about extending this project and add some categories to widely used libraries like ASIHTTPRequest, CocoaAsyncSockets and NSURLConnection. Would be superuseful I suppose..
there are a few tools that can do that, like the Network Conditioner that comes with the developer tools or something like the Charles Proxy, but the special purpose of this little project is to fake the Reachability Information provided by the Device into completely offline, which is a bit different.
If you have wired connection, you can setup wifi sharing and turn it on and off. This way you can simulate slow connection as well. (Using http://mschrag.github.com/)
