Is it any good? What kind of processor is it? (ie: business, gaming, etc.)

My guess is that he is talking about Intel Celeron.
Well in a nutshell, the Intel Celeron is a low-end desktop cpu.

Duh--it's Intel Celeron.
It's a budget processor designed for low-cost systems. In short, they disabled the L2 cache. Some of them are fully functional processors, but many of them are processors with defects in the L2 cache. For this new era with Core-based Intels, it's a Conroe core with a defective core, a Conroe core with a defective cache (they disabled 3/4 of the cache), or a Conroe core with both problems with a defective core and a defective cache. You can tell that it's Conroe by looking at model-numbers... the Celeron 4x0. They call it Conroe-L to differentiate between the active numbers of cores--Conroe for dual-core, Conroe-L for single-core.

I know what a Celeron is, but a Intel commercial I saw yesterday said Intereron. Maybe I misheard?

Now that i didn't know, useful to know none the less. See you can't grab this stuff of the intel website

sometimes pops up on toms hardware though.
Perhaps you misheard?

You probably misheard. Here is my memory of available processors (not including several meant solely for non-retail channels and severer processors).
Netburst (Pentium 4-era)
Intel Celeron
Intel Celeron D (3xx)
Intel Pentium 4
Intel Pentium 4 HT
Intel Pentium 4 EE
Intel Pentium EE
Intel Pentium Extreme
Intel Pentium D 8xx
Intel Pentium D 9xx
Mobile
Intel Celeron M
Intel Pentium M
Intel Pentium Dual-Core
Intel Core Duo
Intel Core 2 Duo
Core (Core 2-era)
Intel Celeron D (4xx)
Intel Celeron Dual-Core E1xxx
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2xxx
Intel Core 2 Duo E4xxx, E6xxx, E8xxx
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6xxx, Q9xxx
Intel Core 2 Extreme X6xxx, QX6xxx, X9xxx
Lots of products--none of them carry the name "Inteleron", but the Celeron can be abbreviated sometimes that way. I included several products unreleased as of yet--the Celeron Dual-Core E12xx, Core 2 Duo E8xxx, Core 2 Quad Q9xxx, and Core 2 Extreme X9xxx. They're coming with Penryn's release in November--full availability in 1Q2008.

Mobile Pentium 4's are no longer available--I've not seen any Pentium M's around either. As for Pentium Dual-Core mobile, Core Duo mobile, and Core 2 Duo mobile, I've seen them in limited quantities and they're rarely in the normal retail-parts channel.
EDIT: Same with Celeron M.

Celeron Mobile and Core 2 Duo Mobiles are widely available in the UK too.

Guess what i found in Cpu-z...
I have a Intel Celeron D and found the L2 cache...
Just have to now what it is...
because it says that it has 512kb cache!
or is the L2 cache just gone? or doesnt exist?

According to Bob, some Celerons have the L2 cache disabled completely.

The fact is most mobile processors aren't widely sold as boxed items or even OEM items in the retail channel. They're available, yes, but for the retail channel (basically buying the processor itself at bestbuy or any other retailer like that) they're nearly nonexistant in numbers, as compared to desktop processors. I added it to my list as well.
