Apple iPhone developer recruited to develop iPhone SDKIt looks like all that pioneering in the world of native iPhone applications hasn’t gone unnoticed by the higher-ups at Cupertino. Delicious Monster’s Lucas Newman, developer of the first-ever native iPhone application Lights Off, has been tapped by Apple to join their iPhone SDK development team.

The iPhone SDK, as you should well know by now, is due out in February 2008, and to make sure that the release is timely and fully-developed, Apple is looking to bring on some true talent. What better recruiting pool than the group of iPhone hackers that managed to get native applications ported to the iPhone without the aid of an SDK? If you can fly a plan blind, you can surely fly with full instrumentation and clear visibility, right?

Kudos to Lucas Newman for the new, glitzy job. Make us proud!
