I really didn't think HIMS or GW Micro would really do something like
that, and that's all right with me.

Even though the Booksense looks like a cell phone and though it might
seem like it could work, I don't think that they will ever do
something like this. Besides, even if they did, consider the
sacrifices that would need to be made to have an all in one device,
such as battery life. Personally, I'm not willing to sacrifice my 12
hours of Booksense battery life for an all in one device that might
not last more than 4 hours, give or take. An consider the upgrades
that would need to be made with the procesor and all the functionality
that you enjoy with your phone to implement into such a device.
