Memorex ReNew line cashes in on green


Memorex is hitting all the right buzz words with its new line of "ReNew" products, unfortunately the company forgot to spend much time thinking about the products themselves. Sure, it's all packaged in recycled cardboard and egg carton recycled paper, built with recycled plastics, meets RoHS standards and all that jazz -- Memorex will even plant 75k trees through the Arbor Day Foundation with a portion of the sales -- but unfortunately the products themselves scream "cheap crap." However, if you're really bent on saving the planet the Memorex way, you can pick up the ReNew Alarm Clock, ReNew Digital Music Player (with 1GB memory and a pitiful monochrome display), ReNew Boombox and ReNew iPod Speaker in November.
