That is exactly what Gmane already provides.

Both of the above work for mobile viewing but aren't optimised.  In any
event there is a NNTP API you can use which is better suited to the data
and has libraries in many programming languages that can be used to build
a mobile app. There are also existing mobile apps that do NNTP.

Gmane has an HTTP API as used by their web interface.

You are using it.

http://search.gmane.org/ - use gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general as the group
name.  There are also search boxes on the web page views.

Use NNTP to download since that will let you choose which subset of
articles you want.

95% of what you want is already there.  You can either use Gmane directly,
or download the source code and adjust as necessary.
