There's a fourth possibility once the N800's USB host support gets more mature:

4) USB Ethernet adapters

There are devices which take a wired Ethernet or telephone cable and present wifi or Bluetooth PAN.

The forum search and Google would be your friend there, I've not tried them myself.

Get an iPhone, then you have the internet anywhere you can get a cell signal.

You can make free or low-cost phone calls wherever you have a wireless internet connection, even without a cell phone. You are right, if you don't somehow have a connection to the Internet, Skype is worthless. I have wireless in my house and make free calls from there.
