Corrected whole thing:
property Launch3G : date "Friday, July 11, 2008 6:00:00 PM"
set unitSizes to {weeks, days, hours, minutes, 1}
set unitNames to {"weeks", "days", "hours", "minutes", "seconds"}
repeat
set timeLeft to Launch3G - (current date)
set resultString to ""
repeat with i from 1 to count (unitSizes)
set unitSize to item i of unitSizes
set unitName to item i of unitNames
set unitCount to timeLeft div unitSize
set timeLeft to timeLeft mod unitSize
if resultString is "" then
set resultString to "iPhone 3G will be launched in exactly"
else
set resultString to resultString & ","
end if
set resultString to resultString & " " & unitCount & " " & unitName
end repeat
display dialog (resultString & ".") giving up after 1
end repeat
