Next time you fancy a cup of tea you really don't need to make a tiring face, as a kettle manufacturing company has bridged the gap between you and your first sip of the refreshment by collaborating with a mobile phone company to create the world's first satellite kettle. Now, just tap out a text message and the job's half done.

Tea makers 'PG Tips' have joined forces with mobile phone company 'Orange' to create a kettle, called "the ReadyWhenUR", which lets you brew via a text message.

Now, all you need to do is text the words "switch on", even when you're on the way home from work or lolling in the lounge watching TV, and the water will be on the boil by the time you get to the kitchen. The silver and black coloured kettle is fitted with a radio receiver programmed with your mobile number, an electronic circuit and a tiny set of mechanical levers.
