I would like for Reading List to automatically sync between an iMac, MacBook Air, and an iPhone 4S. The Macs are both running Lion 10.7.2 and the iPhone is running iOS 5.0. All three devices are signed into the same iCloud account and have 'Bookmarks' checked. It appears that some syncing has occurred at some point between them, but it hasn't seemed to be working lately.

According to Apple's support docs, Safari 5.1.1 for Windows will sync the Reading List via iCloud.
Safari 5.1.1 includes support for iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services. iCloud stores your Safari bookmarks and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices.
I believe you would need to have Safari up to date. Then, install the iCloud Windows control panel and configure it to sync Safari content.
Then, enable iCloud on all of your Mac/iOS devices, and you should be good to go.
use the Gmail template on iOS to have the best Gmail experience on iPhone, use Sparrow to have the best experience on Mac. It will use your Gmail contacts and the one you have on Address Book.
Contacts
Use iCloud for contact syncing on the Mac and the iPhone. You won't have the contacts on the Gmail webapp, but you can still find them on icloud.com.

Best Answer
Sometimes this can be caused by temporary issues with your account or the connection to the iCloud servers. Waiting it out isn't a bad strategy if you don't want to go for official support or when restarting the affected devices is not effective at clearing up the issue.
For ongoing issues, you might reach out to iCloud support to ensure it's not an issue with your setup or account.
