If you put your device in Accessibility mode (and on ICS enable 'touch to explore'), then simply touching the screen and moving your finger on the screen will generate hover events instead of move events. Touching the screen with two fingers will generate move events, or double-tapping will generate a single click.
This is for use for people with visual impairments, allowing them to explore the by touching the screen without actually activating the items under their fingers. A second tap or the use of two fingers will activate actions or move stuff around.
