Here's a very short trip report on SQ's new regional business class seats. SQ's first A330 - 9V-STA - officially started revenue service this morning (16/02/2009). I did a quick turnaround trip to CGK to try out the new seats. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any.
9V-STA (MSN:978) at F54 (T2 SIN) taking me to CGK and back.
New Regional J Cabin
Y Cabin (Seats similar to 388/77W)
Very comfortable new seats! Looks like modified Spacebeds but very much better.
Note that there isn't a side compartment as shown in the initial mock up shots.
Seat belts - those who drive the new generation of Merc will find this all too familiar.

Seat Control Panel - 4 preset modes. You have to press and hold to get to that position. It isn't one touch.
Seat fully reclined - more comfortable than Spacebed despite having the same recline angle. No lumpy contours, just soft leather.
Not large feet friendly but still more room than the Spacebed
