Bluetooth is simply a device-to-device, short-range network. You can do things with bluetooth like use a Bluetooth headset to communicate on Skype, use a bluetooth headset with your iPhone, or "tether" a cell phone to a laptop so that the laptop can use the phone's internet connection (currently not possible with the iPhone/iPod touch, but is slated to be available in September).
Right now, you can "pair" (the act of making one bluetooth device aware of another) an iPhone or iPod touch to a Mac OS X machine, but beyond that, it's useless -- you can't transfer files, you can't "tether" (yet), and you can't do much of anything at all.
What, precisely, were you looking to do with your bluetooth dongle?
