Interesting, although I think the "beta" is quite literal. Seems to lack a bit of polish. The one I was most interested in was the Date Picker, but locks up Chrome (28) and Safari (6) on my machine. http://mozilla.github.io/brick/component/datepicker/demo/ind...
Looks like these are built on Polymer. ( http://www.polymer-project.org/ ).

Another thing about the date picker that was at least happening on my desktop: when it expands, it expands well beyond the bounds of the mobile phone container they're using in their example: http://i.imgur.com/oOQFBs4.png
yeesh, I respect Mozilla for their true open-source-everything-all-the-time philosophy but this is an example where I think it backfires - it's too early! Even if these really are awesome components it's really hard to see past the lack of polish. People are fickle and you only get one chance to make a first impression, it's important that these things look good
This is cool and certainly useful but I have concerns. Forgetting for a moment that this is a shim and imagining that all browsers support this natively, isn't this sort of thing outside the intended purpose of html. Html should describe content not styling and this sort of thing seems ripe for abuse. I thought XML was the markup language for describing custom data. Adding the ability to create your own DOM elements…
All browsers are going to support Web Components eventually and it is going to greatly expand what we thought HTML should or shouldn't do.
I think Chrome Chrome Canary has an implementation behind a flag and FF is actively working on it as well.

Just an FYI - Mozilla will be employing this highly technical problem resolution strategy to ensure a high level of quality prior to official release: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3uxqwTxk0

I can confirm this on OSX - Chrome 28.

I'm not having the freezing issue with Chrome (28). But I think there're some major usability issues. I cannot figure out how to input a date. If I input "8" then "16" it's current value is 08/16/yyyy with the "yyyy" part selected. If I continue to input "2" for the year part it changes to 1902. Inputting "20" will reset the date picker back to mm/dd/yyyy.
