Windows for Mobile Phones 4.0 is an operating system developed by Microsoft for mobile phones. It is based on Windows 4.1.

Features
The operating system now supports color rather than a screen in black and green. More default apps were included such as Mobile Word and Windows Mobile Updates.

History
Microsoft had a mixed reception with the last version of the Windows for Mobile Phones."Color guys, COLOR! When you boot that OS you see a lot of black pixels! It looks disgusting. It seems scary, especially for the average child! I want my money back!" -A reviewer of Windows for Mobile Phones 3.1

During the release of WMP3.1, the next version was being developed. After that review and similar ones, the project was scrapped and Microsoft waited one year until color screens for small devices we're possible. In 1995 Microsoft started to develop a Version of 3.1 in color. Later Microsoft scrapped that project as well and redone the 4.0 version in color. It was released in 1997.
