Medical school is workload enough for most students. But not for Enea Gjoka, who will start his second year of med school at Wayne State University this summer. Gjoka, 22, is also something of a Renaissance man of the iPhone and iPad, a business owner whose app development company, Ann Arbor-based UnlimApps Inc., has earned more than $100,000 in ad revenue in the past two years. "Enea is an extraordinarily bright guy. He's been quite a phenomenon," said Matt Jackson, assistant dean of academic and student programs and associate professor of immunology and microbiology at the WSU School of Medicine. That includes revamping the way WSU's med school delivers classroom lectures to students online. The school makes all lectures available online, but until last year, Mac users frequently had trouble with downloads, and the videos were only available at normal speed, not helpful for student reviews.
