I have not heard of any plans for this, but I will forward your feedback about it.

Seriously, it would be crazy to leave something SO POTENT just like that.

Another suggested use
a 'float over to magnify' kind of feature would help greatly, this might not conflict with the existing hover input which can still highlight the portions of the menu whenever needed, just the menu as a whole could be magnified.
I am saying this because, inspite of the fact that floating input highlights the buttons, clicking on them correctly is often a difficult task due to the small screen.

why not support other functions than just the browser .. could b a  good USP

if your device is bootloader unlocked and rooted it can be activated all over your phone menu sub menu everything...

all you gotu do is delete by any explorer the file in the following path :

root/system/etc/excluded-input-devices.xml.

heres the video how it works :

But real advantages will be obtained with actually having floating touch input additional to the touch input, to perform some more/new functionality. The way samsung has implemented it.
