Nope - I agree that it would be useful, but it also sounds like a lot of implementation work (is there any PC software that allows you to do such a thing?)
I guess it won't hurt to put it on the wishlist, but wouldn't count on it getting implemented very soon. :P

Likewise - although you may hack something there by using the snapshot software to produce an image you could move into the note background folder to use it as a background of a note - and to export the result... (that's the way I'd work around this).

I somehow remember that someone announced to have a look at using the stylus buttons, but I'd have to look up who... but I honestly agree - I've been using the device to take notes these last days - and hardware buttons to switch between scribble-erase and different colors would really increase my efficiency there

Yes - I wholeheartedly agree! I've hacked some workaround for naboo (pdf reader), but it would be much better, if they offered different gray levels - I'd charge myself of adding color support for the pdf exports then.
(+ I also missed this feature dearly taking notes)

See above - there's a hack w.r.t. scribble colors in naboo, and I see an (awkward) workaround for the zoom-scribble idea.
Otherwise: unfortunately no

Please feel free to update the wishlist wiki, though

Cheers!
