Just use the one large image for both. In days gone by the idea of creating a small thumbnail image was because of slow internet connection to save download time. (I guess those using a mobile data download package wont be too impressed but hey you can't please all of the people all of the time). Responsive design these days mainly works by serving up an 'overly' large image which caters for all devices. Some serve up specific images for specific devices but you pays your money you takes your choice.......I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I could not disagree more. So you are basically saying not to bother with mobile users (now outnumbering desktop browsers), and kill their browsing experience, while at the same time forcing them to pay for the extra bandwidth?
Rather lackluster advice, if you ask me.
