One most popular type of Chinese input methods make use of the fact that the pronunciation of each Chinese character can be expressed as some combination of several English letters. Different characters might share same pronunciation, so you usually need to select the one you want from the candidates offered.
This input method is called "Pinyin" and is probably the best choice for a mobile device. However, I do not have an idea if there is an open source input method that can be integrated into PRS+ easily. I'm not an expert in this but I can imagine there should be some standards how this can be done, not only for Chinese but for a lot more languages.
