It may not be as cool as the SMS kettle but Kenwood have announced their new Response Kettle which has 2 features for us gadget lovers.

Firstly you can visually see at what stage of the boiling process the kettle is at, the light inside the kettle changes from blue to red as the water heats. It also has an 80 degrees mode, so instead of boiling the water it heats it to a suitable temperature for other hot drinks, this would work well for me as I always have my coffee black so end up boiling the kettle and adding cold water to my black coffee, not the most green of things to do.

You can see the full press release on the Kenwood site, found via Chip Chick.
