Tech Tools: iKettle wifi kettle

Ah here. This may be pushing the wifi trend a little too far: a kettle that you can control via a smartphone app.

On the face of it, you can see why people would like it: you can turn the kettle on without having to heave yourself off the sofa/out of bed and into the next room. As soon as you cross the threshold or wake up in the morning, it prompts you to switch on the kettle, to make sure you have a hot drink ready to go in seconds.

If it was April 1st, you’d probably have to double check before you put an order in for this one.

Still, it's bound to find some fans.
