        China ComputerWorld has named Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 the "Best Mobile Phone Operating System" for 2005, as part of a special editorial report on the Best Products & Solutions of 2005. The magazine cited Windows Mobile 5 for "providing rich multimedia experience and allowing end users to customize their devices to suit their specific needs."




        China ComputerWorld cited several key features of the OS that led to the award:
        • Support of DIRECT 3D that significantly improves the display quality of games and applications
        • Strict control on RAM that dramatically improves the security and stability of data storage
        • Encrypted WLAN enhances the flexibility of wireless connection
        • Support for USB 2.0
        • Built-in Windows Media Player 10 Mobile
        China ComputerWorld said that another advantage of Windows Mobile 5.0 is "[Microsoft's] marketing capabilities, experience, and resources in the PC industry, which can effectively integrate application tools with the operating system, bringing about a more powerful experience to end users."

        China ComputerWorld boasts a circulation of some 230,000. It was jointly founded in 1980 by the Ministry of Information Industry of China and IDG media.
