Singapore Airlines is the first and only airline to install a productivity suite for the benefit of its passengers who can now continue to work after boarding the plane without having to power up their laptops. In addition to providing the world’s widest First and Business Class seats and a technologically advanced seat in Economy Class, Singapore Airlines has also introduced StarOffice software as part of its next generation KrisWorld inflight entertainment system to meet the increasingly dynamic needs of travelers today. Passengers from Singapore Airlines will be able to use StarOffice’s word processing, spreadsheets and presentation tools.

This one is unfortunately more of a marketing stunt than being of real value. The way to use this is: 1. You must have the document, spreadsheet, powerpoint etc. on a USB stick 2. You insert the USB stick into the provided slot on your seat 3. Now comes the tough part, to use the hand-held controller as a full keyboard and mouse. That's a huge pain, since the keys are very tough to press, and the mouse very tough to navigate. 4. Assuming you get familiar with using the KB/Mouse (I did not, despite trying quite a bit), you can open up the documents on your USB stick, and view or edit them. The main reason I feel it's not of value is the problems using the Keyboard/Mouse on the handheld controller.
