All i want is my email & calendar & contacts to be automatically shared between my laptop, iphone & ipad.
Surely this must be possible?

Do you know what services you're on? eg, Exchange / Google / Hotmail / etc ?

I have windows 7 Ultimate 64, running Outlook 2010, with two separate hotmail email accounts connected to it.
I have one of those hotmail email accounts connected to my ipad & iphone. All fine.
The problem is the calendar mainly - I want one calendar that syncs automatically across all 3 devices.

it needs one default calendar.
I've not tried very hard though. Also, don't use hotmail.

ipad/iphone: That should sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders via a standard 'Hotmail' style account. When you update on one, it should update on the other.... make it "Mail days to sync" as long as you can. I think it's "push" style, so at most it shouldn't take a minute to update the other one. Also the "Pull down to refresh" thing should force it to get the latest version.
Outlook 2010 for Windows: It's something I've not used in yonks'n'yonks, but apparnetly this should sort your out: office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/use-a-windows-live-hotmail-account-in-outlook-HA010354935.aspx
Also, rather than use outlook as an app, have you tried www.outlook.com ? The interface is far slicker, nicer to use, and it'll be setup properly.

And my phone is hooked into gmail, my ipad is hooked into gmail, my computers are all each hooked into gmail.... when one updates, all the rest do. They're all independant entities of each other.
