My first and only iPod is the 4th generation nano. Soooo thin! Love it! I got the silver one becuase its the first one that really caught my attention, when Steve Jobs did a demo on it. I made a trend at my school, one of my other friends got the blue one, another got the orange one, another got the black one, and another got the blue one.

Was there from the beginning: a 1st Generation with Jimi Hendrix on the box
I remember getting stopped by a guard on the London Underground who asked to see my iPod as they were so rare in the UK then. He was gutted as he'd just bought a Creative Nomad Jukebox.

First Gen Mini, Green, found it in stock a week after they came out at a Comp USA. I sold it about 6 months later after I scratched it, sent it to Japan and made a pretty penny.
a 1GB 1st Gen Nano (white)
Then I got a 4GB 2nd Gen Nano (pink)
Then I got a 30Gb 5.5Gen Video
Then I got an 8GB 1st Gen Touch
Now I have a 16GB iPhone 3G
My girlfriend's first was;
a 3rd Gen iPod (30GB)
She's also got an 80GB Classic in black.
She's not the gadget whore I am. She uses hers until they stop working.

1st generation 4 GB iPod Nano in black; I got it right after launch!
Then I bought an 80 GB iPod classic in 2007. And last week I picked up a 2nd gen touch (32 GB). I still use all 3!

...which I still use daily. And is also the ONLY iPod I have. I use it for music (and address book entries) only. I keep it running when at work and at home; but if I have to get up and walk around, it's very convenient. I have no accessories that it didn't come with. I do use a utility to move music from the iPod to the Mac - a great benefit (thank you to the developers, who have been paid).
It is not the model per se of the iPod that qualifies it, but the software and hardware, and Apple's attention to the end user by keeping in the development loop and updating the iTunes software consistently.
PS: I didn't buy it; I won it in a contest. It was only after I started using the iPod that I realized what a huge benefit it was for me. Had I known, I would have bought it. What a great little innovation. Kudos to Apple for being prescient enough about the music market to develop such a great product, and in iTunes, such a great marketing advance.

First gen. 5Gb w. active scroll wheel and side buttons. Amazingly enough, it still works. Original battery still gets about 4 hours too.
2nd gen 10GB.
Gift from my dad. When they came out I didn't "get it." I had a large music collection on CD and thought that mp3s sounded like crap. But it was one of the few things that have come along in my lifetime that changed the way I live my life. The instant access combined with mobility changed the way I listened to music. They still don't make one big enough to hold all of my music. But I can say the same about hard drives in general.
The only other impact that readily comes to mind with similar gravity is the iPhone in general and specifically the inclusion of the App Store.
