As another owner of a DTI-520, my stylus appears to be different from
Adam's stylus. The eraser end does look like an eraser (and it does
wiggle a bit), and when I press it against the tablet, the LED on the
tablet flashes as if the tablet is reacting to it (in a similar way that
the LED flashes when the "pencil" part of the stylus is pressed against
the tablet).

So I think that indicates that the DTI-520 *does* work with both a pointer
and an eraser.
