English term or phrase: it's the first of many
And, as of Wednesday, Intel's latest Atom chip can indeed be found in a tablet from that household name in personal computing: ViewSonic. Intel says ***it's the first of many***, and while I'm sure it's a fine device, the fact that the first Atom Z670 tablet to hit the market comes from a commodity maker has to be disappointing for Intel. One cool thing about the ViewSonic 10pro: It'll run both Windows 7 and Android 2.3--though the latter runs as an application on the former.
it应该是指a tablet from that household name in personal computing: ViewSonic。
但是嫌“它是许多平板电脑中的第一款”不好。

这是第一款设备(以后还会源源不断)


Explanation:
建议只是简单的建议成“这是第一款设备”,不必拘泥“of many”(有个类似的例子:我们也常常将"last but not least"翻译成“最后”,而忽略but not least的翻译,旨在符合中文的语言习惯),查到网上有很多这种译法:

如果您觉得这样属于漏译,我的建议是译成:这是第一款设备,以后会源源不断。读起来更顺口。
