A380!
The new KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’ inflight entertainment system, features over 1,000 entertainment options, newly-introduced PC applications such as office software, Media Player, Photo Viewer and PDF Reader, and an updated suite of games.
Compared to a 747, the A380 has larger windows and overhead bins, and 60 cm (2 feet) of extra headroom. The wider cabin allows for 48 cm (19 inch) wide economy seats instead of 43 cm (17 inch) seats on a 747, although the seat pitch of 81 cm (32 inch) is the same as that on a 747.[67] Singapore Airline's economy-class seats feature 27 cm (10.6 inch) LCD screens in each seatback, as well as an AC power supply in most seats; business-class seats are 84 cm (34 inches) wide, can lie flat for sleeping, and have 39 cm (15.4 inch) LCD screens.
Larger windows! Hahhaa. Byeeee.

Singapore Airlines A380 Economy is also a significant step forward, maybe not as large a step as what has been taken in Business Class and Singapore Airlines Suites, yet it is still a step forward.
The most important question is how is SIA’s A380 Economy class seat? I have to say it is the most comfortable economy class seat I have ever been in, this is partly due to the extra 3.8 cm (1.5 Inch) width you get compared to SIAs previous economy seat, In addition the seat cushioning and support has been improved significantly.
The Video entertainment unit in economy at 27 cm (10.6 in) is larger than the Business Class screen in Singapore Airlines other aircraft, this is quite an achievement.
Finally it’s good to know no matter which cabin or seat you are sitting in (Singapore Airlines Suite or Business or Economy) Singapore Airlines Entertainment system delivers the same 1000 on-demand entertainment options to all classes. The only difference is the size and quality of your screen along with the inclusion of noise cancelling headphones in Business and Singapore Airlines Suite classes.
