However, don't count out Apple adding a stylus as well for China, as what works in the US very often has to be redesigned for China. That said, I'd say that the picture shown above isn't enough for writing in Chinese quickly (this comes from using about a dozen phones, including smartphones, that I used over 7 years writing SMS in China) and they'll need to do more to keep the text messages flowing quickly.
