I think they're the same product, Bruce--that is, they let the online version run for a couple of years (I remember getting a link to it back in '03 at least) until they felt it was smart enough, then just loaded the program onto the toy to sell.

Edit: Well, close. I just went to the original website and learned that it was a separate toy company that licensed the AI from the website people.
