There are a myriad of alt coins with varying lengths of time to solve blocks.  Bitcoin's time is 10 minutes, it's part of its backbone coding, it's not going to change.

You are right, but for the newbies: It's 10 minutes on average, the time to confirm may change. Be it 10 minutes, 15 minutes.. If the transaction time would be very short the confirmations would become meaningless  Smiley
