How does google handle the duplication of information from desktop and mobile version.
The images and text would basically be the same so is it considered duplicate info. and penalized?
from everything I've read the answer is no.. it shouldn't be an issue at all.

Hi Frank,
Google's pretty good at figuring things out - they have two indexing bots, one specifically for mobile - so you may not need to do anything. However you could add a meta tag to each of your mobile pages, like this for example:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.htm">
You might place this on your mobile/product.htm page to let Google know that the desktop version of product.htm is the one you consider to be the 'master' or canonical one that should be indexed, rather than the mobile version. You should only consider this when the two pages have substantially the same content, as you're in effect hinting that only the desktop version should be indexed, and if the two pages are actually quite different in content, that might look suspicious.
Cheers,
J
