There are so many multi-purpose cell
phones out there, and some even accessible. I can't imagine there
would be much of a market for a BookSense/cell phone. If HIMS
designed a new BS, I would like for it to have a wireless chip. Now
that would be handy.

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.

Turn right, then go straight!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places
to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back
to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
