Will MicroSIM card work in a laptop as an aircard?

[Paffy]

Forgive me if I am using the incorrect terms...LOL

Currently I have a Dell laptop with an AT&T 3G Sim/air card, and the $60/mth plan. I'm thinking about getting an Ipad. Obviously the sim in my laptop won't work in the Ipad, since it's a standard sim. Besides that, I'm paying $60/mth for it, so I'd rather get the $30/mth Ipad/ATT plan. If I got an adapter for the microsim, would it work in my laptop, since they're both AT&T, or am I SOL?

Thanks

MicroSIM adapter works perfect with my data stick that is connected to my laptop. I got my adapter here microsim2sim 2010© | microSIM ADAPTER SHOP [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaJnB8fMYA]YouTube - micro-SIM adapter in action 2 (inserting into the phone)[/ame]
