Found this when I was checking for updates. ATOK has recently released extra dictionaries for its Android keyboard. The keyboard costs 1,500 yen, and as far as I know, you can only purchase it from the JP Google Play. (Ugh.) For those who have it, the new dictionaries may be useful. I think they're kind of cool to varying degrees.
First: 和英. As you type in a Japanese word, in the selection ribbon, the English definition shows up. Very cool when it works. (Dictionary is kind of small.)

Next: A dictionary of useful phrases to use when dealing with 目上 people in writing. So when you type in a word, a more polite version or phrase will pop up as a suggestion. (Not perfect by any means, but might come in handy in an emergency.) Useful for those 季節 phrases you have to use in correspondence. An example from their page:
Type in ごがつ get 薫風緑樹をわたる季節となりました as a suggestion.

Lastly: Kaomoji. Type in phrases like わらい, get an option for kaomoji like (o^∀^o). Useful if your phone can't handle kaomoji any other way, and it's a faster way of inputting them. (If you use them.)

I may have seen a medical dictionary in there somewhere... but I'm not interested in that right now, because I'm not in Japan and bleeding. >_>a
