In 2009, it would have taken seconds to minutes to reach 1 BTC. In 2010, maybe a couple of hours. And in 2011, perhaps a day to a week depending on the month. Generally, how long do you think it would take for a person living today to reach 1 BTC? 10 BTC? 100 BTC? (heck, is that even possible now?)
It depends on what you are trying to do to get the bitcoin.
If you have the money and are buying them, you can get 1 btc within a day.
If you are working for bitcoin, you may need a few weeks (depending on your job) to earn ~$600.
If you are playing with faucets, you will never get 1 btc now.
