Analogies with $c_0$ and $\ell_1$ Let $X$ be a Banach space. Define $c_0(X)$ to be the vector space of all sequence $(x_n)$ of $X$ such that $\lim |x_n|=0$; and $\ell_1(X^*)$ to be the vector space of all sequence $(y_n)$ of $X^*$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty |y_n|<\infty$. If  $c_0(X)$ is equipped with the norm 
$$|(x_n)|_0 = \max |x_n|$$
and $\ell_1(X^*)$ is equipped with the norm 
$$|(y_n)|_1= \sum_{n=1}^\infty |y_n|$$
is it true that $c_0(X)^*$ is isomorphic to $\ell_1(X^*)$?

There was a major misconception here in the original version; the obvious guess for the dual of $c_0(X)$ is $\ell^1(X^*)$, not $\ell^1(X)$.
In fact the dual is $\ell^1(X^*)$. Leaving the easier inclusion to you:
Say $L$ is a bounded linear functional on $c_0(X)$. Let $e_j$ be the vector consisting of all zeroes except for one $1$, in the $j$-th place. Now $$x\mapsto L(xe_j)$$ defines a bounded linear functional on $X$, so there exists $y_j\in X^*$ such that $$L(xe_j)=y_j(x)\quad(x\in X).$$
Let $c_{00}(X)$ denote the subspace of sequences that vanish except for finitely many terms. By linearity it follows that $$Lx=\sum_jy_j(x_j)\quad(x\in c_{00}(X)).$$It follows easily from this that $$\sum_{j=1}^N||y_j||\le||L||.$$ So $\sum||y_j||<\infty$, so $y=(y_1,y_2,\dots)\in\ell^1(X^*)$. 
Now $y$ defines an element of the dual of $c_0(X)$ that agress with $L$ on $c_{00}(X)$. Since $c_{00}(X)$ is dense in $c_0(X)$ it follows that $y=L$, or less informally that $$Lx=\sum y_j(x_j)\quad(x\in X).$$
