The seats will be basically the same Millennium seats used today on the QF A330-200 domestic services, just recovered in leather and the addition of in-seat power for laptops.

Its not going to be a cheap business class. Its really a premium economy product.

Perhaps slightly better in that, at the very least because you get a personal video player and in seat power ...

Here's some basic info: What is StarClass?

On Airbus A330 operated services Jetstar offers StarClass – a new premium cabin
for the price of other airlines’ economy class. StarClass highlights are:

• Priority check-in
• Qantas Club lounge access
• Priority boarding
• In-seat power
• Complimentary meals, beverages, video-on-demand entertainment and amenity kit
• Fully flexible and refundable fare – change dates, times and names
• Jetstar’s new StarClass features 'Millennium' seats - extra wide leather seats with adjustable lumbar support, headrests with wings, and a 38" pitch.

Only from the seat perspective. Not as fare as other services are concerned.

Starclass does include meals, but just the same meals as the other passengers are able to pre-order or buy on board. It includes the same limited supply of beverages as can be pre-ordered of purchased on board.

I certainly expect it will make the JQ experience quite ok and provides an option for those willing to pay a little more for a better seat, which is what most carrier's premium economy products are about. The fact that it will pay QF Business Class status credits for QF FF members is a real bonus.
