Can I connect my 3 Mobile broadband usb dongle to my Ipod touch for internet connection?

Lumiere asked:

I want to be able to connect to the internet on my ipod touch whilst i’m out and away from wifi. I have a broadband contract with the mobile provider 3 that provides a usb broadband dongle. Can I use this via some adapter and software to connect to the internet on my ipod touch (2nd gen)?

Thanks in advance for any help.
