Gonz, I am a simple person.
All i want is my email & calendar & contacts to be automatically shared between my laptop, iphone & ipad.

Surely this must be possible?

Yeah', that's exactly how it should work.
Do you know what services you're on? eg, Exchange / Google / Hotmail / etc ?

Bear in mind this is all my own kit, not owned by a large company or anything, so I don't have servers 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.

I don't think you can simultaneously sync a hotmail calendar and an outlook one to Apple things
it needs one default calendar.

I've not tried very hard though. Also, don't use hotmail.

Cool, it's not far off the setup I have for my personal stuff.
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.

I've had a look at outlook.com
Didn't like it.
