"The designer who designed the bookshelf UI at Delicious Monster was poached by Apple to work on the iPad team."

If you're referring to Mike Matas, the co-founder of Delicious Monster, he left DM to join Apple back in 2005. While I imagine he's probably working on the iPad, he wasn't poached specifically to work on the device.

He mentioned somewhere that he designed elements of the iPad's Maps UI.

How do you know the iPad wasn't 5 years in the making?
