as far I'm concerned pointer and hand cursor is the same, only problem is that hand cursor was "specialy" developed/recognise by Microsoft and no one else does care for it, so this thingy only work for IE.
cursor: hand
Other browsers dispay it as text cursor.
Below you can find a short example of some cursor appearances.

<html>
<body>
<h1 style="cursor: pointer;">This is my pointer</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: hand">This is hand and it does work for IE only</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: help;">This is help</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: wait;">This is wait</h1>
<br>
<h1 style="cursor: text;">This is text</h1>
</body>
</html>

If you have any other questions I will be happy to answer them.
