Default Novice needs advice

I know absolutely nothing about recording and all the technical talk makes my head spin.

I currently record myself (acoustic guitar, no pickup, and vocals) into an iPhone 4 and use some free software (can't remember the name, something like pro audio) to upload it to my desktop computer via wifi. Then I put it on Soundcloud. One track only.

The sound quality from the iphone is not great, and it is very difficult to position the mike to get a good balance between guitar and vocal. And if it can be edited after recording I haven't figured out how.

At some point I might want to do some overdubbing for harmonies and guitar fills, or use it to record a small jam session with a friend or 2. I suppose I might install a pickup in one of my guitars some day, too.

Budget? Cheap! A couple of hundred or less.

Thanks

Bob
