AVG Technologies gained entry into the Android mobile security space in November 2010 with its $4.1 million acquisition of Droidsecurity (www.droidsecurity.com ) from Maayan Ventures, a group of private investors and DroidSecurity’s managers.  At the time, Droidsecurity offered both  free and paid versions of their products.  DroidSecurity was the  maker  of the first full-featured Android anti-malware application DroidSecurity mobile Security Suite The company was  founded in 2009 in Tel Aviv, Israel.  By August 2010, they had hit the 2.5 million-user mark. 

You can't claim  to be the first to offer the first free product on Android by buying the company that has a more legitimate claim.  Transitivity doesn't count here.  Check the dates.  Perhaps the first 2.5 million doesn't count.
