Sharp to launch 3-D phones

The Sharp Electronics smartphone, featuring 3-D images, above, will be available in Japan in December

(CNN) -- Movies in 3-D. Video games in 3-D. Television in 3-D.

Now, get ready for your phone's screen to broadcast images in three dimensions.

Sharp Electronics will debut a pair of handsets that render 3-D images without the need for glasses.

The phones, which run Google's Android operating system, initially will be available only in Japan.

Tech blog Engadget reported Thursday that the pair of phones will be released in Japan in December and February.

The first, the Galapagos OO3SH, features a touchscreen while the second, the Galapagos OO5SH, has a slide-out keyboard.

Both have 3.8-inch display screens, and the 3SH has a 9.6-megapixel camera while the 5DH has an 8-megapixel camera, Engadget reported via Engadget Japanese.

The ability to run 3-D on a phone may not seem to have much practical use, but as social-networking blog Mashable noted Thursday, smartphones are acting as much as portable entertainment devices as phones at this point.

Video-game maker Capcom has announced that 3-D versions of several games -- "Mega Man," "Ghosts 'n Goblins: Gold Knights" and "Resident Evil: Degeneration" -- are in development for the Android system.

Facebook knows when you'll break up!!

This chart tracks relationship trouble via Facebook status updates, which show a spike of breakups in the spring.

(CNN) -- Worried about when you might get dumped? Facebook knows.

That's according to a graphic making the rounds online that uses Facebook status updates to chart what time of year people are splitting up.

British journalist and graphic designer David McCandless, who specializes in showcasing data in visual ways, compiled the chart. He showed off the graphic at a TED conference last July in Oxford, England.

In the talk, McCandless said he and a colleague scraped 10,000 Facebook status updates for the phrases "breakup" and "broken up."

They found two big spikes on the calendar for breakups. The first was after Valentine's Day -- that holiday has a way of defining relationships, for better or worse -- and in the weeks leading up to spring break. Maybe spring fever makes people restless, or maybe college students just don't want to be tied down when they're partying in Cancun.

And let's hear it for cheapskates. The other big romantically treacherous time, according to the graph, is about two weeks before Christmas -- presumably as people begin pricing gifts for their significant others.

Mondays, as if they weren't bad enough, are the most likely day to break up. Summer and fall look like the safest seasons.

And, possibly showing that some people's sense of humor is more twisted than others, there's a spike in breakups on April Fool's Day.

What single day are you least likely to get a "Dear John (or Jane)" letter?

"Christmas Day," McCandless said. "Who would do that?"
