google does not penalize you for mobile redirects as long as you tell google that the url redirected to is the mobile version of your website.

place this in your header.

Code:

<link rel="alternate" media="handheld" href="http://theredirectedurl.com" />

This tells google that the redirected url is the MOBILE VERSION. You will not be penalized. Google specifically tells you to do this. This also tells google that visits from their mobile search engine shall send visitors to the url specified rather than the url listed in the results.

IE: yourfuckingdomain.com is in the results for "This Keyword", however, when user clicks it, google sends them to redirecturl.com because you told google to do so.
