What is the best kind of iPod / MP3 player for runners who hold & control their devices with sweaty fingers?

I just can't tolerate the spinning wheel's lack of sensitivity when my fingers are sweaty. And I do control my iPod a lot when running; I don't want to change my behavior there---and armbands & crap are silly to me if the runner wants to view the screen a lot & such.

It's bad enough when the 3.5mm cable needs to be spun around to hear in both ears & stuff, but when the controls get a little sweat or GOD FORBID raindrops on them & the iPod just breaks or might as well breaks, it's just like, "Why am I spending so much on this?" I've already gone through Nano 2nd and 4th generation models. Now what--a Touch? Is that any better for that insane amount of money? I just don't know what kind of iPod will fit needs my needs best . . . And help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Update:

O right & 16gb is the minimum memory I'll accept, too. -ha-

    The iPod touch 4 is very great with connecting with wi-fi. The words are magnificent and they can magnify. I got it for Christmas and I haven't stopped playing and discovering with the iPod touch 4. It is very easy to set up. All you have to do is just connect it to your computer and choose what music or playlist you want and it goes straight to your iPod touch. There isn't a thing I don't like about the newest iPod touch

    An mp3 participant is physically powerful for listening to music. yet iPods have many different gains like video games and video features. yet you additionally can purchase mp3 gamers like this, so it truly relies upon on the layout and in case you want to have the conceit of the iPod. I easily have an iPod.

    Get the newest iPod shuffle. It has physical buttons, and it is very small, plus it has a clip so you can attach it to your clothes. It may not have a screen, but it's pretty much ideal for joggers.
