Brass Goggles appears to have Tapatalk support (http://brassgoggles.co.uk/forum/mobiquo/mobiquo.php) so it's possible to make a non-web viewer.
It appears to be broken, though that might be because it requires additional arguments. Tapatalk's a new one by me.
There's also NNTP/Usenet. IIRC groups can be hosted on their own server or as part of the actual Usenet network.
Easily. The FidoNET protocol took a lot of cues from NNTP. In some locations, NNTP is used under the hood for internal comms (with webapps that
completely hide what it really is).

NNTP is cool, especially if you use UUCP or NNNCP[1] as a transport mechanism for offline relaying. I favor Eternal September[2] as the news provider of choice since it's text groups only - no NZB warez.
