As Anna mentioned you can try the iCloud Control Panel which lets you sync mail, contacts, calendars, and reminders between Microsoft Outlook and your iOS device. You have to have Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later for this to work. You can download the iCloud Control Panel by visiting this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455. Also, if you have other Apple software installed on the computer already, you can simply open Apple Software Update, and you can install it from there. The advantage is that if you primarily use iOS to manage your data, you'll find that it works the best on your iOS devices. For example, it offers full support for location-based reminders. The disadvantage is that a lot of people have trouble with the iCloud Control Panel. It seems to sync data in a rather unorthodox manner, and I find Outlook to be a bit more temperamental with the iCloud Control Panel installed and set up. Your mileage may vary of course, and I've found that it's not too much of a big deal to work around the occasional quirkiness. For example, there will be two additional sets of folders that will show up in your Microsoft Outlook profile. One will be your iCloud Email account; the other will have data like contacts, calendars, and reminders.
An alternative would be to use an account such as Microsoft's Outlook.com which can sync mail, contacts, calendars, and reminders between Microsoft Outlook and iOS using Exchange Active Sync. You'll likely find it to be a bit more stable if you use Microsoft Outlook as your primary means to access the data. The disadvantage is that not all features are supported. For example, location-based reminders cannot be created, even within iOS. It's also slightly more challenging to set up multiple calendars, though it can be done. However, there are some nice touches such as a built-in holiday calendar that can be configured to display holidays for your preferred country. You can sign up by going to Outlook.com, and you can add the account easily on your iOS device by going into Settings | Mail, Contacts and Calendars. You can also sync contacts and calendars (but not reminders) with a local Personal Folders file in Microsoft Outlook by configuring the synchronization to happen locally, using iTunes. Connect your iOS device and visit the Info tab in iTunes. Let me know if you need any more information on any of the above.
