A dongle is a generic word for pretty much anything which plugs into a computer, though most of the time its USB. As jamespir says, the most common type at the moment are bluetooth dongles, which plug in and act as a bluetooth transmitter/reciever, allowing bluetooth devices such as phones to communicate with it. Other common dongles are the ones provided by companies such as 3 which act as modems, allowing you to go online without needing a phone line. Even usb flash drives can be called dongles, these are just portable storage devices, like CDs but they can hold much more information, and are much smaller.

The above descriptions are both good, but this gives a bit more on the history and types available:

You need to decide what you want to achieve (e.g. roaming wireless access to the internet), and then you can start considering products and prices.
