Time to Upgrade

I'm definitely behind in the times when it comes to electronics.  I've been using the same old flip phone for almost four years, I sit here at a desktop and I've been using my mp3 player for ages.  I think it's time for an upgrade.  I've been thinking about getting an iPod for quite a while now.  There are so many versions though, that I'm not sure which to get.  I also noticed there are quite a few Ipod accessories out there but I'd probably just keep with the basics to begin with.  If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations out there, I'd love to hear them :)
