Getting up early in the morning to boil water is such a
tedious task. What if you could just lie down in bed and
have your water boiled at your bidding? This is the
concept behind iKettle that’s being called as “the
world’s first Wi-Fi kettle”. This kitchen gadget can be
controlled using an iOS or Android smartphone as long
as the accompanying app is installed.
The iKettle uses a Wi-Fi connection to link with your
smartphone. You will be able to control it from
anywhere in your house whether you are lying in bed or
just sitting on the couch. All you need to do is instruct
it to boil water from your smartphone and when it is
done you will be receiving a notification. There’s even a
keep warm feature so the water stays hot.
This gadget also has several functions that make boiling
water easy. You can set it to remind you every morning
if you want to boil water. By answering yes you can just
snooze and wait for the notification that the water has
already boiled. There are also four different settings you
can choose from, each designed for a specific type of
beverage. Green tea for example is best served at 80
degrees while coffee is at 90 degrees.
The iKettle is a smart gadget that knows when it does
not have water. It comes with an auto-shut off feature
and boil protection. This means that it won’t turn on
unless it has enough water in it.
Some of the key features of the iKettle include
Control your iKettle via your mobile device
Easy one-touch set up
Wake up and Welcome home mode/Timer
Choose from four temperature settings
Keep warm feature
Super easy to clean – removable filter and no internal
element
Auto shut off with boil-dry protection
Stainless steel design with soft-touch handle
LED backlit control panel
Connectivity: Wireless 802.11b/gx, WPA/WPA2,
Tablet/iPhone/Android
The iKettle can now be pre-ordered for $160.79 and is
expected to ship out this November. It comes with a
standard 3-pin UK plug so if you want to use this in the
U.S. you will be needing an adapter.

Wonderful! Will the kettle pour its content into a cup itself, make the exact type of tea i want, and serve me in bed? Then quietly, leave the room, clean the cup without me lifting a finger?

iNeed it

Mehn!
This means we are slowly but surely getting closer to a technology that can cook food from start to finish without any aid from humans.
When that day comes, what a great day that would be. .
God bless the geeks & nerds all over the world toiling to make my life easy

Emm, but is it not still the owner that will pour water inside the kettle?

You'll still have to wake up and put water inside the kettle! So the "tedious" work is not defeated!
If only the kettle can produce its own water, then all you just have to do is to put on the kettle!
