that should help, honestly chris, im not sure how important the eraser is. i use a tablet for digital painting (a mouse feels strange after tablet) i rarely ever flip over the pen to erase something. i like to do erasing with the tip of the pen because it is smaller than the end of the pen . or by selecting and using the delete key not the actual eraser. some programs the eraser acts just like the tip for example quartz composer. other programs use the eraser as it should and let you do things like smudge etc with it. still i never use it. when you flip the pen over, the buttons are not next to your fingers so selecting an eraser type or adding a brush to the eraser can't be done without flipping the pen over clicking the right or middle button selecting your erase option then flipping the pen back over just to erase is a waste of time. so if you are going to add an eraser option maybe make it a fast clear all, or do something unique to your app that the other two buttons can not do. maybe pull up a color picker or something. just a thought. rember not everyone has the intuos 3 some may have cte or bamboo etc... which have different buttons on the tablet itself or none at all. i would not choose to negate the extra buttons they just won't be available for some users.
i made a little drawing app for the mouse, tablet, a multi touch DI, and iPhone/iPod. it dosent do much but draw on the screen and leave some cool color trails. just a novelty not really anything anyone would want to use for anything but maybe interactive art. it makes music as well. i would be interested in seeing your drawing program. i like digital painting.
