It seems unlikely to me.
For one thing, even on a desktop system mouse-over detection requires CPU usage and therefore power. Doing this continuously on a battery-operated system seems like a big waste of power for little potential gain.
Also, even with software to judge whether or not a touch is "intentional" I still accidentally touch things. Hovers seem to offer even more ways to be input unintentionally.
- skykooler 15y agoAs far as I know, some BlackBerry phones do have this. The screen rests on a physical button. A touch to the screen activates hover; a press (registered by the button) activates a click.
- randall 15y agoIMO it feels really unnatural. People who touch screens are used to touching to activate, not touching to hover. I don't typically touch to hover, so touching to hover feels like a totally unnecessary second step added every time I want to interact with my device.
