One thing nice about the contour of a pen shaped stylus is that it has very fine and specific point at the tip, but it also feels natural in your hand. It allows you to make fluid swipes and strokes, but also gives you the option for pin point presses. I think it has a middle ground quality to it in a way.
It's not as simple as an already accesible button press, and it's not as fluid as an actual finger swipe, but it can do both at least failry well, rather than each really well. But it can do it all with one mechanism. The NGP mainly opts for the very fluid finger motion technology, having it both on the front and on the back (I do think that back finger track pad idea is pretty slick).
