Even if you can find a mic/headset speaker combo with only one 1/8" plug that does work, what is the point. Using Skype with a WiFi only tablet without a camera is not going to be that big of a deal. If you have a WiFi connection you probably have other devices which will do the job a lot better than a Fire.
All hands free sets that come with most cell phones have one plug and include a mic on the plug it will have 3 black bands 2 for the headphones if stereo and one for the microphone.

If the headset was designed to work with a computer most likely it would have 2 plugs but we are not talking about those we are talking about headsets made for cell phones.
