  Recent experiments in a mixture of two hyperfine states of trapped Bose gases
show behavior analogous to a spin-1/2 system, including transverse spin waves
and other familiar Leggett-Rice-type effects. We have derived the kinetic
equations applicable to these systems, including the spin dependence of
interparticle interactions in the collision integral, and have solved for
spin-wave frequencies and longitudinal and transverse diffusion constants in
the Boltzmann limit. We find that, while the transverse and longitudinal
collision times for trapped Fermi gases are identical, the Bose gas shows
unusual diffusion anisotropy in both dipole and quadrupole modes. Moreover, the
lack of spin isotropy in the interactions leads to the non-conservation of
transverse spin, which in turn has novel effects on the hydrodynamic modes.
