I've been using the Reminders app on my iPhone and iPad and it syncs flawlessly with my Mac, in iCal. You also have access to everything via iCloud.com, if you set it up as such. I too was hesitant at first because of Apple's lackluster performance up until now - but it has been working great for me. I'm not concerned with syncing to my work PC via Outlook because I carry my idevices everywhere with me and don't see any advantage.
