Sun StarOffice for Singapore Airlines
Sun Microsystems Inc announced that Singapore Airlines has rolled out StarOffice software in its new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
It has introduced StarOffice software as part of its next generation KrisWorld inflight entertainment system to meet the increasing needs of travelers today. Passengers from Singapore Airlines will be able to use StarOffice’s word processing, spreadsheets and presentation tools, Sun said in a statement.
“With heightened security, access to laptops during flights can sometimes be restricted. The availability of StarOffice software as part of KrisWorld, offers Singapore Airlines’ customers the opportunity to work on and access their information in an open, secure and freely available fashion independent of any vendor or file formats during their flights,” said Wong Heng Chew, MD-Singapore, Sun Microsystems.
“Sun Microsystems is proud to be the airline’s solution provider of choice. With StarOffice software supporting an increasing number of productivity file formats like Open Document Format and Microsoft Office, travelers can access such files through a single application with a USB storage device and even export documents in PDF format,” he added.
StarOffice software is an office productivity product that includes word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, database, graphics, drawing, photo editing and web publishing applications. It is compatible with Microsoft Office. [via]
