The short answer is No, Google will not penalise your xmobile template/site.
In the case or xmobile - there are no "redirects" in place and you don't have a 2nd copy of your site that you redirect customers to. You only have 1 source for your content (as apposed to a 2nd mCommerce site, as its referred to in that article).
Hope that helps.

Hi Will,
The article identified three things our site must have to ensure our mobile content ranks well with Google:
1. a ⌠vary header■ to tell Google that the content at the URL varies by user agent
2. main site pages (not mobile) must have an ⌠alternate■ meta tag identifying the mobile version of the page
3. a canonical tag that identifies the desktop version of the page and the desktop URL
In our case we satisfy point #3 but our main site template (xTreme gear) does not satisfy point #2 and, to be honest, I▓ve no idea about point #1.
Since our mobile page URL is the same as our main site page URL it would not be a major task to add the ⌠alternate■ tag so that we satisfy point #2 but what would be involved in satisfying point #1?
