At least in case of tablets with pens/styluses (like the Surface line or Dell Latitudes), the device can recognize when you're hovering over something with a pen. It meshes nicely with the mouse-oriented design. I wish there was a way for touchscreens to detect hovering fingers, then on-hover controls could be useful on phones and penless tablets.
