Software giant Microsoft Corp said on Thursday it has teamed up with dominant Chinese computer maker Legend Group to make tablet PCs, laptops with write-on screens expected to make a splash in Asia. "They are the number one PC manufacturer over here and so it's great that they've chosen to develop the tablet PC," Oliver Roll, marketing general manager for Microsoft Asia. Taiwan's Acer Inc, Hewlett-Packard Co and Fujitsu are among the other firms working with Microsoft on the portable computers with touch-sensitive, flat screens which can be written on like a pad of paper and come with or without a keyboard.
