Solution

If the device is using WiFi and you have a Wireless Network card that can enter promiscuous mode then you can use WireShark to sniff the raw packets. Use Follow TCP Stream to reconstruct the HTTP requests. More information can be found at http://www.wireshark.org

Another option is to force your device to use an HTTP Proxy and then inspect that traffic. There is a guide to doing this here: http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2009/06/sniff-your-iphones-network-traffic/
