JACKSONVILLE,Fla. -- Smart accessories like game pieces and fitness devices are gadgets that can connect and communicate with your phone or tablet.

"We have gaming consoles," said Gretchen Schultz.

Schultz, who works for AT&T, rounded up a few smart accessories. One of the most popular this holiday season is the iGrill thermometer. 

"Whether you're an amateur or a professional, people love the iGrill thermometer," said Schultz. "When it reaches the right temperature it is going to send a notice to your wireless phones."

There's also a gadget to make you a gamer. The Moga Gaming controller turns your phone into a gaming console.

"You no longer do you need to carry a cell phone and a gaming device," said Schultz. "For fifty dollars, the Moga takes and makes your cell phone into a gaming console.

Bluetooth makes everything easy -- even listening to music on a small box with a big sound.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Tackett family now has running water. A few days ago they did not.

"We had to fill water jugs at the gas station to flush the toilets," said Amanda Tackett.

On December 1st, they moved from Alabama to a rental home in St. Johns County. They're still unpacking and trying to get over what they call a bad experience with the JEA.

"I've never had this experience with a utility company," said Tackett.

Amanda Tackett said during the last week of November, they mailed copies of their lease agreement, their IDs, along with a deposit to the JEA. The check was sent to a different address for security reasons.

"We provided everything ... " said Tackett, "and nothing we did was good enough."

But Tackett claims JEA delayed the service connection because of a there was a delinquent service charge to the address, which had nothing to do with them.
