Keyword being 'need'. The iPad will never need a stylus. It would be an optional accessory that enhances writing.
This. You are correct. The keyword was need. And in the case of the iPad it still is. No one NEEDS a stylus. But they can use one if they want.
What everyone might need, which would be useful for Apple to do across the line, is a small degree of pressure sensitivity, built in palm rejection, and a finer line pickup. Whether you use a passive stylus, bluetooth smart one, or even just a finger
